Description:
A faster reference standard for field comparison studies of portable gas chromatographs (PGC) is needed. A performance evaluation of a high-speed GCMS (FGC/MS) system conducted during 1998 demonstrated generally satisfactory performance, but it was evident that performance of both the FGC/TOFMS and the PGC could be improved. Equipment and procedures have been further optimized, and the field study repeated. A performance evaluation conducted subsequent to the modifications is reported.
