GLC SoftwareEach of the 4 GLCs has its own operating software. The staff have not been adequately trained on these, which limits the application of the software.However the important elements of the analysis can be easily obtained from the software such as:i.)The retention times.ii.)The areas and heights of the integrated peaksiii.)The operational conditions of the GLCiv.)The identification of the peaksThese elements are sufficient to carry out qualitative and quantitative analysis by using simple calibration graphs and processing this data either manuallyor with Excel Spreadsheets.This could also be useful training for the staff as they would have a clearer understanding how the results are calculated.In parallel with this, the staff could continue to improve their knowledge of the system by further investigating the software together. In addition the staffcould refer to the manufacturers, and the Slovakian Institute to assist with answering specific points.GLC Carry Over - Ghost PeaksThe Agilent GLC suffered from carry over of ghost peaks. The temperature programme has a 1 minute clean out phase at 315 ºC. The KE3 recommended toresolve the problem by applying the following modifications to the methods:i. The temperature programme had only a 1 minute clean out phase at 315 ºC. It was recommended to change the programme by extending this phaseto up to 15 minutes.ii. Increase the temperature of the inlet port.iii. Change the septa more frequently.Laboratory EnvironmentKEs Mission ReportsHuman Dynamics KG ConsortiumPage 30 of 36
This sensitive analysis needs a laboratory that is clinically clean and in pristine condition, because any dust or volatiles in the air can contaminate the results.Unfortunately the EIMC laboratories are not nearly up this standard. There is a real need for the laboratories to undergo a complete refurbishment or to berelocated to modern premises so that the analysis can be of a standard for a national environmental department.Recommended Future WorkPetroleum Aromatic Analysis1) Ensure subtraction of blanks2) Try different extraction techniques3) Try suggested Excel techniques4) Write SOP for methodOCP analysis1) Develop the KD analysis- check recoveries.2) Use higher threshold values to remove poor peaks3) Ensure there is blank correction4) Try suggested Excel techniques5) Write SOP for methodVOC analysis1) Construct calibrations curves for all standards2) Ensure there is blank correction3) Try to remove ghost peaks4) Try different extraction techniques5) Try suggested Excel techniques6) Write SOP for methodKEs Mission ReportsHuman Dynamics KG ConsortiumPage 31 of 36
