Method 101

Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether


This method is for the collection and analysis of dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPGME).  The sample is collected on a coconut shell charcoal tube.  After collection the sample is desorbed with 95/5 (v/v) methylene chloride/methanol and analyzed by GC/FID (flame ionization detector).
