Headspace GC for Volatile Compounds in Solid and Liquid Samples

Headspace GC for Volatile Compounds in Solid and Liquid Samples is designed for solid or liquid samples containing volatile compounds using Headspace Sampling followed by Gas Chromatography. Headspace sampling transfers the vapor phase above a solid or liquid sample to the gas chromatograph and reduces direct introduction of nonvolatile matrix components. The configuration connects sample handling, separation, response acquisition, calibration and quality control into one application workflow.
