Does a online database exist for common GC methods ?

I need to assay some common solvents such as THF, ethyl acetate, acetic acid etc. I know HS-GC methods must already exist for these, but I'm having difficulty finding these online. Can someone tell me where to look?

Your best bet is to find a research paper where someone analyzed your analytes in your matrix. I am unaware of any compendium of GC methods. What is your matrix?

While it probably isn't in your area, NEMI has a database of methods for environmental work.

Even within a regulated area, keeping up on methods is a lot of work.
If you can't find a method in published papers and you suspect that it is similar to a common analysis, try vendors of the equipment you use. In your case start with HS and check on line for application notes.
