چکیده

A sample enrichment probe (SEP) consisting of a thin rod of an inert material and provided at one end with a short sleeve of polydimethylsilicone rubber was used for the high-capacity sample enrichment of analytes from gaseous and aqueous samples for analysis by gas chromatography (GC) and its hyphenated techniques. The silicone rubber was exposed to the analytical sample, after which the end of the rod carrying the silicone rubber was introduced into the injector and the analytes thermally desorbed and analysed by GC. This technique is similar to, but differs from, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in that a much larger volume of the sorptive phase is employed, the sorptive phase is not introduced into the inlet of the GC via a needle and the injector is opened to the atmosphere for the introduction and removal of the SEP. In the determination of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in gaseous and aqueous media, the SEP technique gave results comparable with those obtained by the stir-bar-sorptive extraction (SBSE) and high-capacity sorption probe (HCSP) techniques. Implementation of the SEP technique requires only minor adaptations to the gas chromatograph and does not require any auxiliary thermal desorption and cryotrapping equipment.

Ordered Nanoporous Carbon Based Solid-Phase Microextraction for the Analysis of Nitroaromatic Compounds in Aqueous Samples

In this paper, the possibility of using a new ordered nanoporous carbon as a new fiber in headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) to determine of mononitrotoluenes (MNTs) in waste water is demonstrated. The structural order and textural properties of the ordered nanoporous carbon were studied by X Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images and nitrogen adsorpti...

New Concepts and Techniques for Quantification and Trace Analysis by Gas Chromatography

In the first part of this thesis, strategies for avoiding systematic errors when quantifying the main components in mixtures of solvents has been developed (paper I). It is shown that variations in density caused by variations in sample composition and/or volume contraction need to be taken into account. In this way, quantification can be improved. The second part (paper II-V) describes a numbe...

Analyze Pesticides in Water with Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction and Thermal Separation

Multiple pesticides in water samples were successfully analyzed using an Agilent 5975T LTM GC/MSD equipped with an Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert low thermal mass column module, with stir bar sorptive extraction and an Agilent Thermal Separation Probe for sample preparation. The method was simple, rapid, effective, and showed good linearity (R2 >0.9914) and high sensitivity for most of the targ...

Development of second-generation sample enrichment probe for improved sorptive analysis of volatile organic compounds.

The sample enrichment probe (SEP) has recently been introduced as a user-friendly and cost-effective method for the sorptive extraction of volatile organic analytes from gaseous and aqueous samples for GC and GC-MS analyses. In a further development of the SEP technique, thinner polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) tubing on polyimide-coated fused silica, instead of stainless steel rods or stalks, were ...
