Are EtOAc (AR) doing harm to FID detector and the GC system

Discussions about GC and other "gas phase" separation techniques.

We are running out of the Ethyl Acetate standard, and we need to make a solvent residue test on Ethyl Acetate urgently. Thus, I wanna to use the AR EtOAc as a reference, as the precision is not the highest priority. Are there anybody here who knows if it will do harm to the GC system?

Sorry for not being organized.

Thanks very much!

I know that the precision of the data must be discounted, but I really have no other better ideas now.

Any suggestions?

As you see, I'm a new comer in the GC area. And a lot of my time has been spent in other aspects for my job. Thus the reason I need you all's suggestions so urgently. Thanks again for taking care!

It's OK with Ethyl Acetate AR
It is highly unlikely that EtoAc will harm any GC column or system.

best wishes,

Ethyl acetate is used as an injection solvent in several GC/MS methods.
