Determination of Glycol Ethers in Air

Glycol ethers are a group of compounds used as solvents having a high boiling point. As some members of this family of compounds evaporate quickly and can easily reach hazardous level in air, it is very important to quantify their concentration not only in raw materials, but also in both indoor and outdoor environment. Besides, according to regulatory methods, in order to obtain improved analytical collection and recovery results, it is important to reduce the degradation, decomposition and the hydrolysis of analytes. This application note shows how to achieve these goals through the use of Master TD Thermal Desorber.
