3.5 GC/MS Mode with Tri-Bed Concentrator
This method is used for analyzing samples with concentration levels in the low part
per billion to high part per trillion range. This method is used when the loop method
fails to detect a chemical. Refer to Chapter 6, Methods, for additional information
on GC/MS methods.
NOTE: Before a GC/MS can be run in this Concentrator mode, the Tri-Bed
concentrator must be installed. Refer to Section 2.9.3, Installing the
Tri-Bed Concentrator, on page 2-29 for instructions. Once installed, the
Tri-Bed concentrator must be cleaned before sampling begins.
NOTE: These methods can also be used for the Carbopack concentrator, which
has been discontinued. For instructions on installing the Carbopack
concentrator refer to Section 2.9.4, Installing the Tenax or Carbopack
Concentrator, on page 2-31.
