It has been adopted as a Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and a provisional analytical manual by the Ministry of the Environment. To address potential helium carrier gas shortages, alternative gases like hydrogen and nitrogen are being considered. Hydrogen, in particular, shows minimal spectral changes when using a dedicated ion source. In this study, hydrogen and dedicated ion sources were applied to the AIQS-GC, with measurement conditions set to match helium's performance. The AIQS-GC met performance criteria for 20 out of 21 substances using hydrogen and a dedicated ion source. However, the sensitivity for all 21 substances decreased, suggesting that correction of quantitative values might be necessary if there is a significant difference in sensitivity reduction between the measured substances and internal standards. The AIQS-GC uses target ion and qualifier ion abundance (QT) ratio for substance identification, but low peak intensities caused some QT ratios, like that of captafol, to exceed standard values, requiring manual spectrum checks for accurate identification. Despite these issues, the AIQS-GC with hydrogen carrier gas and a dedicated ion source offers a new screening method for hazardous substances during helium shortages.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93576,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chromatography open","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772391724000380/pdfft?md5=da85738e06ec5024479e48a821a87ae4&pid=1-s2.0-S2772391724000380-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141637199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heights equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) on Chirobiotic R were 2-4 times larger than on Chirobiotic V, and the shape of van Deemter plots, strongly convex-upwards on the former column, demonstrated minor (Leu-Leu) or lacking (Gly-Gly) convexity on the latter column.

ILs are semi-organic molten salts at temperature below 100 °C, composed by organic cations and organic or inorganic anions. DESs are a greener evolution of ionic liquids, consisting of a quaternary ammonium salt that acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor molecule and organic acids, sugars, amines, or polyalcohols that can be used as hydrogen bond donor molecules.

MSPD is an extraction technique based on a homogenization phase between a solid sample and a solid dispersing material that has the function of breaking the sample, increasing analytes extraction yield. Three possible uses of neoteric solvents in MSPD extraction were investigated: (i) as extraction solvents to replace traditional organic solvents; (ii) as an adjuvant of MSPD extraction, to be added to the sample and dispersing material during the homogenization step; (iii) as an element to create innovative and highly selective dispersing materials.
