Polarography and HPLC analysis of derivatized 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) samples are commonly used techniques to measure carbonyl compounds in solvents. Polarography is older technology that requires the use of mercury, which is being phased out by many states due to its toxic nature. The DNPH method has a preparation step that requires additional chemicals to perform and could lead to loss of analytes and experimental error. We developed a GC-MS test method for the analysis of carbonyl compounds that can be run on the neat solvent without preparation, does not require toxic mercury, and has shorter overall analysis time than polarography and DNPH methods.

### By viewing this webinar you will learn...

- how GC-MS can be used to identify and accurately quantitate ppm levels of carbonyl compounds
- how Honeywell chemists developed the GC-MS test for carbonyl compounds, presented it to the ACS Committee on Analytical Reagents, who then adopted the test as the primary method in the 11th edition of the ACS Reagent Chemicals Guide
- advantages of running this analysis on GC-MS versus older techniques
- about Honeywell brands and products that are ACS certified.
