The complementary roles of dynamic headspace and sorptive extraction in the analysis of fragranced consumer products using TD–GC–MS

The complementary roles of dynamic headspace and sorptive extraction in the analysis of fragranced consumer products using TD–GC–MS

Summary

This Application Note describes the analysis of three fragranced consumer products – fabric conditioner, washing detergent and washing powder – using three sampling approaches in conjunction with analysis by thermal desorption–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (TD–GC–MS). As well as comparing the analyte ranges covered by dynamic headspace sampling, headspace sorptive extraction and immersive sorptive extraction, the ability of Markes’ re-collection technology to streamline method development and validation is discussed.
