Abstract

This paper describes a GC/MS system capable of performing Volatile Organic Analysis on liquids, solids, and air. When combined with a syringe auto-injector, the system is completely automated for both volatile and semi-volatile analyses. An OI Analytical Model 4551 Vial Multisampler and an OI Analytical DPM-16 Multisampler are interfaced and then connected to an OI Analytical Model 4560 Sample Concentrator, an HP Model 5971 MSD, an HP Model 7673 Auto-Injector, and an HP Model 5890 Series II GC to form a multi-tasking GC/MS system. This system is shown to allow greater versatility in the laboratory.
