Summary

A new procedure for sampling, transfer, and analysis of volatile organic compounds by gas chromatography has been developed. An adsorbent trap ultimately becomes an insert for a modified injector port, and a valve system allows the sample to be transferred to a cooled precolumn and finally to the separating column. Several traps may be used for sampling (for multiple injections), and it has been established that such traps may be stored without loss of sample. The ease and reproducibility of this procedure is amenable for the investigation of volatile organic compounds involving air and water pollution, flavor, and aroma analyses, and body fluid metabolites.
