Method 1608

Glycidol by GC/FID


This method is used for the determination of glycidol. The sample is collected on charcoal sorbent tubes, desorbed with tetrahydrofuran, and analyzed using GC/FID. The working range is 16 to 450 mg/m³ (5 to 150 ppm). High humidity may greatly decrease the breakthrough volume. NOTE: This is Method S70 in a revised format.
