ATS performs GC/MS VOC testing using the static headspace method of chromatography. Our chemists provide gas chromatography mass spectroscopy services to detect and measure emissions and the content of samples.
Headspace GC/MS and VOCs
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 measure a single constituent, multiple constituents, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 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 testing coating 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 the 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.
Test Methods and Standards
We perform headspace GC/MS to a variety of industry standards and test methods, including:
*Denotes ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation
ATS’ GC/MS VOC Testing
ATS has provided testing, engineering consulting, and inspection services of the highest caliber for over 55 years. We serve clients from a variety of industries nationwide. Our knowledgeable chemists employ a range of testing methods to identify both the specific identity of each VOC in test samples and their representative portion of the materialโs chemical composition. ATS quickly returns the accurate findings you need to remain compliant with industry standards.
