Phenol impurities by GC-MS
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2006 8:55 am
I need to look for the impurities in phenol sample using GCMS, can I inject phenol directly into gc column? What is GC setting?
Probably dilute in methylene chloride and inject.
Some of the impurities might need to be silylated to elute from column.
A DB5 column would work for either derivatized or underivatized sample. 50 to 300 C at 15 C per minute.
some info on my website about silyl derivatives..
