Comparison of WCOT and PLOT columns for the GC/MS analysis of benzene in soft drinks

Instrument Type: GCMS

The Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra is applied for the comparison of WCOT and PLOT columns for the GC/MS analysis of benzene in soft drinks. The equivalent Thermo Scientific columns specified in the FDA method were compared for their suitability in the quantification of benzene at low concentrations. The columns compared were the Thermo Scientific TRACE TR-V1, TracePLOT TG-Bond Q 15 m and TracePLOT TG-Bond Q 30m GC columns and full method details for these are in the application note PDF.
