Applied Technical Services performs GC/MS VOC testing using the static headspace method. Our chemists can use this technique to return qualitative or quantitative results, depending on the clients’ needs.

ATS experts routinely use Headspace GC/MS analyzers for characterizing volatile materials in liquid samples or solid materials. This technique can be used to identify compounds or determine how much of a single constituent, multiple constituents, or total VOC content is present. This method involves heating an appropriately sized sample at a specific temperature for a desired amount of time.

The static headspace method is particularly useful for coatings systems that cure by chemical reaction. These include powder coatings, melamine-cure automotive coatings, and various two-component coatings. If you need to determine what is off-gassing during processing and molding of a material, this technique can be applied using similar temperatures and parameters used in a manufacturing plant for more applicable data.

Some commonly performed GC/MS VOC headspace testing methods include:
