Notes:
A GC autosampler designed for liquid injection was modified for static headspace sampling. The modification was very simple and involved replacement of the standard 10-μL syringe with a 100-μL gas-tight syringe. Liquid samples (0.2-1.0 mL) were placed in 2-mL vials, normally used for liquid sampling and an aliquot of the head-space above the liquid was withdrawn and injected into the GC. All parts of the sampling system were at ambient temperature. The system was found to be useful for several applications. Among those discussed in this paper are determination of ethanol in the blood or urine of individuals suspected of driving while intoxicated, residual organic solvents in pharmaceuticals, and screening of effluent waters from industrial plants for acrylonitrile.
