Mold Odor Analysis Using a Purge and Trap Multimatrix Autosampler

This application note demonstrates a new purge and trap method for analyzing drinking water samples for mold odor compounds at the part-per-trillion (ppt) level. A Teledyne Tekmar Atomx multimatrix autosampler will be used in conjunction with a GC/MS system employing selective ion monitoring (SIM) to achieve the low levels required by this analysis.
