Rapid analysis for volatile substances<\/h1>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
\n

Volatile organic substances (volatile organic compounds) in a material are converted into the gas phase by heating. First, these gaseous substances are ionized. The ions then move through an electric field in a drift tube filled with gas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The larger the ions in the sample, the more frequently they collide with the gas molecules in the drift tube. Each collision is accompanied by a delay in the ion’s “travel time (drift time)” through the tube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After passing through the drift tube, a detector determines the drift time of the ions. The longer the drift time, the greater the molecular weight of an ion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the analysis of samples consisting of a mixture of organic compounds, a sample pre-separation is first carried out using gas chromatography (GC). The device configuration established at the fzmb allows the analysis of light to medium volatile compounds up to a boiling point of 120 C\u00b0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The range of substances that can be analyzed includes organic compounds such as hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters and amines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
