Acetic acid determination by GC

Hi to everyone,

I know that acetic acid is not really suitable to be analysed by GC at low traces, but I dot not have any other option at work. I have tried a polar column DB-FFAP and works much better than a V624 mittle polar. Can anyone give me some tips how to make the most of my FFAP column? Thanks and regards. ASP
