EPA 8270E with pulsed split injection and retention time locking on an 8890 GC with a 5977 Series MSD

United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Method 8270 provides conditions for analyzing more than 200 semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This application note demonstrates system optimization, calibration, and method performance for the recently revised EPA 8270E on an Agilent 8890 GC system coupled with an Agilent 5977 Series single quadrupole mass spectrometer.
