Abstract
gas chromatography or HPLC. Substance-specific detection without chromatographic separation is routinely used for formaldehyde. With some limitations, the identification of carbonyls in multicomponent mixtures is possible using online mass spectrometry. In particular, proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) has established as a method with high sensitivity and high time resolution.
