ACCURACY
Capillary, fused silica, 30 m x 0.32-mm ID; 0.5 µm film polyethylene glycol, DB- wax or equivalent
RANGE STUDIED: Not studied [1, 2]. BIAS:
Not determined
CALIBRATION: RANGE:
Solutions of analyte in eluent (internal standard optional)
OVERALL PRECISION (ÖrT): Not determined
See EVALUATION OF METHOD.
ACCURACY: Not determined
ESTIMATED LOD: 1 µg each analyte per sample
PRECISION: See EVALUATION OF METHOD.
APPLICABILITY: This method may be used to determine two or more of the specified analytes simultaneously. INTERFERENCES: High humidity reduces sampling capacity. Less volatile compounds may displace more volatile compounds on the charcoal.
OTHER METHODS: This method combines and updates Methods 1401 and 1402, NMAM, Fourth Edition, Issue 2. Estimated LOD for each analyte is approximately ten times lower than that of the old methods.
