Title: Linked gas chromatograph-thermal energy analyzer/ion trap mass spectrometer

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5775530

The capability of comparing a nitrogen chromatogram generated from a gas chromatograph (GC, Varian model 3400) linked to a thermal energy analyzer (TEA, Thermedics Inc. Model 610) with a total ion chromatogram (from a Finnigan-MAT Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer, ITMS) has provided a new means to screen and identifying trace levels of nitrogen-containing compounds in complex mixtures. Prior to the work described here, it has not been possible to simultaneously acquire TEA and MS data. What was needed was a viable GC-TEA/ITMS interface to combine the capabilities of both instruments. 4 figs.
