In a series of posts, we are going to talk about method validation. Part 1: Introduction-Is it valid, invalid or non-validated? Part 2: What is method validation? Part 3: Can we use someone else’s validated method? Part 4: What triggers verification, re-validation or out right new validation of a method? Part 5: What are the […]
Risky Business: Direct Liquid Injection Gas Chromatography
Believe it or not, some testing labs who perform EtOH analysis still use direct liquid injection Gas Chromatography instead of headspace. When I say believe it or not, you will see by the end of this post that it is foolish to perform direct liquid injection especially looking for what is already a volatile organic […]
