Can the headspace injection technique be used for the accurate and precise quantitative analysis of my sample?
Yes! The headspace injection technique is a rugged and precise quantitative technique. When the headspace method parameters have been properly setup and optimized it can be used routinely for quantitative analysis. As in all quantitative GC analysis, a known standard that is similar to the actual sample must be prepared. This standard allows the headspace user to calibrate his GC method.
