PG - 460825 LID - S0021-9673(19)31296-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chroma.2019.460825 [doi] AB - Several calibration approaches were evaluated for the quantitation of volatile organic compounds in air using miniaturized exhaustive and non-exhaustive sampling techniques, such as in-tube extraction (ITEX) and solid phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow. Eleven compounds, 2-ethyl-hexanol, hexanal, nonanal, toluene, ethyl-benzene, methyl isobutyl ketone, acetophenone, p-cymene, alpha-pinene, trimethylamine and triethylamine, all them found in the natural air samples, were selected as model analytes. Liquid injection, liquid standard addition to the sorbent bed and gas phase standards provided by an automatic permeation system, were evaluated in the case of ITEX packed with laboratory-made 10% polyacrylonitrile (PAN) material. Two different approaches, based on sampling of gas phase compounds from the permeation system and from sample vial containing gas phase standards, were evaluated for SPME Arrow with two different coatings, commercial divinylbenzene-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (DVB-PDMS) and laboratory-made mesoporous Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (MCM-41). In addition, interface model approach was used for the calculation of the real concentration of the target analytes in the sample from the total amount of analytes injected into the GC-MS in the case of SPME Arrow. Similar results were obtained with the different approaches used for the quantitation by ITEX and SPME Arrow. However, the use of gas phase standards with sample matrix similar to the natural samples, allowed the permeation system to provide the most reliable results for the quantitation of the target analytes. For this approach, linearity (expressed as r(2) values) ranged between 0.991 and 0.999. The limit of detection ranged from 0.5 microg/m(3) (trimethylamine, MCM-41) to 2.2 x 10(-4) microg/m(3) (methyl isobutyl ketone, MCM-41). In addition, the use of the fully automated permeation system provided good reproducibility values that were between 1.4% (acetophenone, MCM-41) and 7.8% (methyl isobutyl ketone, 10% PAN). The linear ranges were at least 3 order of magnitude for all the studied analytes with the exception of the calibration curve developed for trimethylamine with SPME Arrow (linear ranges between LOQ and 4.9 microg/m(3) (DVB-PDMS) and LOQ and 9.8 microg/m(3) (MCM-41)).
