Analysis of carboxylic acids - HP-FFAP

[Andre Orci]

Hello everyone!

In our lab, we use a GC Agilent 7890A equiped with a HP-FFAP (part number 19091F-433) capillary column, that we would like to use to determine the purity of carboxylic acids (from C:2 to C:14).

Could someone provides me with a methodology for the analysis of these acids in the HP-FFAP (sample preparation, GC and run parameters, integration parameters like height, slope and area rejection...)?

Thanks you in advance!
