General description
SupraSolv® hypergrade for organic trace analysis is a unique and universal solvent quality which can be employed for all three GC detection methods (ECD, FID and MS). Thanks to the large retention time range, even low-boiling substances can be reliably analyzed.
Application
The solvent is featured in studies such as:
- quantification of trace odor-active polyfunctional mercaptans in wine by GC-MS
- analysis of volatiles from Brussels sprouts plants infested by herbivorous insects by GC coupled to electroantennogram (EAG)
- analysis of herbicides molinate and bentazone in soil by GC coupled to flame ionization detector(FID)
