Carter 2 and Katelynn A. Perrault 1,* 1 Laboratory of Forensic and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Forensic Sciences Unit, Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Chaminade University of Honolulu, 3140 Waialae Ave., Honolulu, HI 96816, USA; [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Forensic Taphonomy, Forensic Sciences Unit, Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Chaminade University of Honolulu, 3140 Waialae Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 August 2018; Accepted: 27 August 2018; Published: 10 September 2018 Abstract: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are monitored in numerous fields using several commercially-available sampling options. Sorbent-based sampling techniques, such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME), provide pre-concentration and focusing of VOCs prior to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis. This study investigated the dynamics of SPME Arrow, which exhibits an increased sorbent phase volume and improved durability compared to traditional SPME fibers. A volatile reference mixture (VRM) and saturated alkanes mix (SAM) were used to investigate optimal parameters for microbiological VOC profiling in combination with GC–MS analysis. Fiber type, extraction time, desorption time, carryover, and reproducibility were characterized, in addition to a comparison with traditional SPME fibers. The developed method was then applied to longitudinal monitoring of Bacillus subtilis cultures, which represents a ubiquitous microbe in medical, forensic, and agricultural applications. The carbon wide range/polydimethylsiloxane (CWR/PDMS) fiber was found to be optimal for the range of expected VOCs in microbiological profiling, and a statistically significant increase in the majority of VOCs monitored was observed.

  • Certificate of Analysis
    National Institute of Standards & Technology Certificate of Analysis Standard Reference Material 2285 Ignitable Liquids Test Mixture This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in the calibration of chromatographic instrumentation used for the classification of an ignitable liquid residue. SRM 2285 is a solution of 15 compounds, including even carbon number aliphatic hydrocarbons from hexane to tetracosane, toluene, p-xylene, 2-ethyltoluene, 3-ethyltoluene, and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene in methylene chloride. A unit of SRM 2285 consists of five 2 mL ampoules, each containing approximately 1.2 mL of solution. Certified Mass Fraction Values: The certified values for the 15 constituents are given in Table 1. These values are based on results obtained from the gravimetric preparation of this solution and from the analytical results determined by using gas chromatography. A NIST certified value is a value for which NIST has the highest confidence in its accuracy in that all known or suspected sources of uncertainty have been investigated or taken into account [1]. Information Concentration Values: Information values for concentrations, expressed as percent volume fractions, are provided in Table 2 for the components. An information value is considered to be a value that will be of interest and use to the SRM user, but insufficient information is available to assess adequately the uncertainty associated with the value or only a limited number of analyses were performed [1]. Expiration of Certification: The certification of SRM 2285 is valid, within the measurement uncertainty specified, until 30 March 2023, provided the SRM is handled and stored in accordance with the instructions given in this certificate (see “Instructions for Handling, Storage, and Use”).

  • Stoddard Solvent 105 6. Analytical Methods 6.2
    STODDARD SOLVENT 105 6. ANALYTICAL METHODS 6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES As with biological materials, detection of Stoddard solvent in environmental samples is based on the detection of component hydrocarbons. See Table 6-2 for a summary of the analytical methods used to determine Stoddard solvent hydrocarbons in environmental samples. The primary method for detecting volatile components of Stoddard solvent in air is GC using a flame ionization detector (FID) (NIOSH 1984; Otson et al. 1983). Stoddard solvent in air may be determined by absorption to an appropriate column such as charcoal, desorption in a solvent (carbon disulfide is recommended), and subsequent quantification. Although the precision of this method is good (greater than 10% relative standard deviation when the recovery is greater than 80%), in general, recovery tends to be rather poor (18-80%) because of the slow volatilization of Stoddard solvent (Otson et al. 1983). No analytical methods specific for Stoddard solvent in water or soil samples were located; however, determination of Stoddard solvent may be assumed to be similar to the detection of comparable hydrocarbon mixtures. Detection of Stoddard solvent in water is dependent on the identification and quantification of the specific hydrocarbon components of the solvent. The primary method, GC either alone or in combination with MS, may be used for the identification of the major hydrocarbon components, i.e., n-alkanes, branched alkanes, cycloalkanes, and alkylbenzenes. Separation of the aliphatic and aromatic fractions may be achieved by liquid-solid column chromatography followed by dilution of the eluates with carbon disulfide. Aqueous samples may be extracted with trichlorotrifluoroethane, while solid samples may be extracted by Soxhlet extraction or sonication methods (Air Force 1989).
