5.6.1 Quick Reference SOP — GC/MS Mode with HSS and Sample Loop
1 Double-click the Smart IQ software icon.
2 Double-click the Run Method icon.
3 Double-click the GCMS folder.
4 Double-click the Headspace folder.
5 Double-click the HSS 15 Min Loop method.
6 Wait for heaters to gain control of set temperatures
7 Following a 20 minute sample temperature equilibration in the HSS oven,
gently depress the headspace needle into the 40 mL sample vial.
8 Click the Run button in the pop-up window.
9 When prompted, place the headspace needle in the purge vial and press Sel.
10 To analyze the data, see Chapter 9, Data Review.
5.7 GC/MS Mode with Headspace Sampling System and
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 Headspace
Sampling System with the Sample Loop method fails to detect a chemical. Refer
to Chapter 6, Methods for additional information on GC/MS methods.
The concentrator feature is designed to enhance
HAPSITE sensitivity when analyzing low concentration
samples. The accumulated sample VOCs are transferred
from the concentrator adsorbent bed to the HAPSITE as
a concentrated sample. Care should be taken to avoid
overloading the HAPSITE and causing excessive
carryover of VOCs in subsequent runs.
1 Refer to Chapter 13, Headspace Sampling System for more information on the
Headspace System. Refer to Section 2.6, Headspace Sampling System, on
page 2-12 for assembly instructions.
2 Follow the instructions in Section 2.9.3, Installing the Tri-Bed Concentrator, on
page 2-29 or Section 2.9.4, Installing the Tenax or Carbopack Concentrator, on
page 2-31 to install the concentrator tube.
