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
