Methylene unit calibration for analysis of organic acids by gas--liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a method for automatic computation of "methylene unit" retention-time indices in real time on a computer-controlled gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer system. The calculation is based on the exponential relationship between the methylene unit values of hydrocarbon reference standards and the oven temperature at their elution. Using this mathematical relationship, we calculated calibration factors, which eliminates the need to include a set of methylene unit reference standards with each run and simplifies and speeds identification of unknown peaks in chromatograms. Long-term stability and good precision of the calibration factors were observed during the six-month period of study.

1. A gas-liquid-chromatographic procedure is described which permits separation and identification on the same chromatogram of a wide range of substances occurring in urine or tissue extracts. The method uses hydrogen flame ionization, which detects organic compounds whether free or conjugated with no requirement for specific reactive groups. 2. For chromatography, carboxyl groups are quantitat...

A novel method is presented for transesterification of fatty acid esters in phospholipids and triglycerides to benzyl esters while simultaneously recovering free fatty acids as methyl esters. Transesterification is catalyzed by 0.2 M (m-trifluoromethyl phenyl)trimethyl ammonium hydroxide in methylene chloride, 10% (v/v) benzyl alcohol, and 1% (w/v) potassium tert-butoxide, and is complete in 30...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are classified as persistent and carcinogenic organic pollutants. PAHs contamination has been reported in water. Many of relevant regulatory bodies such as EU and EPA have regulated the limit levels for PAHs in drinking water. In this study, 13 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in tap water samples of Tehran and wat...
