What are the benefits of using the Headspace Injection Technique?
Ease of sample preparation The headspace injection technique minimizes the need to dissolve solid or dilute liquid samples. Saves time Getting solids into solution can be very time consuming and uses hazardous and expensive solvents. Reduces sample interferences Dissolving or diluting your sample may introduce volatile impurities into the sample that may interfere with your analysis. Eliminates GC contamination When a headspace vapor sample is injected into the GC it contains only the volatiles components present in your sample. Solids and high boiling liquids remain in the headspace vial and will not contaminate your GC. Capillary columns used with headspace injection can last for years without becoming contaminated.
