I want to find a method to calibrate acetaldehyde. I use a Finnigan Trace 2000 GC with TCD detector.
I already tried with liquid injection of very little volumes (0.1 to 1 microliters). The areas was very different at the same volume injection.
After I read in this forum about the possibility to made a solution and quantify acetaldehyde not by volume but by mass (tare a flask with little amount of solvent and after add some drops of acetaldehyde). Also with this metod it is impossible to obtain similar areas with the same volume injected.
It's also difficult for me to use headspace technique because I can't inject a great amount of acetaldehyde without damage the coloumn.
Someone have experience with this kind of calibration? Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.
