}
Gas chromatography with flame ionization detection allows for quantitative analysis of individual components present in complex mixtures. Experimental methods are being developed to study collection materials.
Applications:
- determining volatile organics present in collection storage environments
- determining volatile human-derived contaminants present on collection objects
- developing methods for forensic identifications of colorants and substrates
