Phenol measurement by GC-ECD
« on: November 27, 2015, 08:06:19 AM »
Dear GC experts,

Can I measure phenol directly by GC-ECD without derivatizing it? And would that be possible to detect phenol of range 0~30mg/L? Please help me out.

Lots of thanks!

The US Pharmacopoeia has a method to detect phenol impurity in the common preservative phenoxyethanol. It uses a flame ionization detector, but it could be adapted for ED.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
