Volatile Organic Compound Analysis
Our service
Summary
The service provides sampling, identification and quantification of Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs) emitted into the environment from anthropogenic and biogenic sources.
Dynamic methods using sorbent cartridges are used for atmospheric samples, and BIO-VOC™ devices and sorbent cartridges are used for exhaled breath samples. These samples are then analyzed by thermal desorption coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Aldehydes are determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. VOCs present in water samples are analyzed by purge and trap coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
The service also provides analysis of VOCs emitted by textile materials and present in pharmaceutical products by direct thermal desorption coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
