Health and safety concerns are driving global efforts to monitor water quality. Particularly, water contamination with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of various origins is a high priority for regulatory agencies, since VOCs can cause both acute and chronic health problems.
For more than three decades, GC/MS with purge-and-trap (P&T) has been the preferred analytical technique for VOCs in water. However, analysts continue to be challenged by the large number of targets with differing chemical characteristics.
Perform highly sensitive chromatography that exceeds ICAL requirements for published methodsAgilent’s GC/MS VOC Application Kit gives your team the tools to quickly analyze trace target compounds in complex matrices. Its analytical conditions and MS tune parameters provide a unique approach to EPA methods 524.2, 524.3 and 8260B – making it easier for you to:
•ImplementP&TconditionsforEPAmethods524.2,524.3 and 8260B
•EstablishGC/MSmethodparametersforVOCAnalysis
•ReliablysatisfyUSEPArequirementswithournewautomated tuning approach
The Agilent GC/MS VOC Application Kit includes the following components – so you can spend less time on method development and more time on validation: •AccessoryKit,whichincludesanalyticalcolumn,inlet
liner, methods, and other materials needed for optimal performance
•Field-testedP&Tparameters
•Automatedtuningroutinefor4-bromofluorobenzene(BFB)
•Recommendedproceduresforstandardspreparationand initial calibration (ICAL)

Increase the sensitivity, robustness, and stability of your GC/MS VOC analysis Agilent’s GC/MS VOC Application Kit lets you leverage your new or existing hardware to deploy methods developed by our chemists. Our innovative approach to standards preparation, P&T techniques, system tuning, and data reporting give you the advantages of:
•Increasedtunestabilityforlongerintervalsbetweentuning•MDL<0.048μg/Lformost524.2compounds•MDL<0.060μg/Lformost8260Bcompounds•AcalibrationresponsefactorwithanaverageRSDof8%forEPA524.2and6.1%forEPA8260B.
Total Ion Chromatogram of EPA Method 524.2 ICAL standard, acquired using the GC, MSD, and P&T parameters contained in Agilent’s GC/MS VOC Application Kit. Excellent stability, robustness, and peak shape were achieved – and detection limits were lowered to PPB or PPT levels.
Tune and vacuum control view of the Agilent MSD Productivity ChemStation. BFB Autotuning provides long-term stability and improves sensitivity into the PPT range.
