This application note describes a retention time locked (RTL) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method for the analysis of derivatized organotin compounds. Three retention time locked libraries are made available, corresponding to three different derivatization methods. The retention time databases allow easy peak location and identification of the target solutes based on mass spectra and retention times.
This document details a method for analyzing organotin compounds using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). It addresses the complexity of interpreting mass spectra for these compounds by utilizing retention time locked (RTL) libraries. The method allows for reliable peak allocation and identification based on both mass spectra and fixed retention times, even after column maintenance or changes.
The method allows for easy peak location and identification of target solutes based on mass spectra and retention times.
The document considers methyl-derivatives, pentyl-derivatives, and ethyl-derivatives for the analysis of organotin compounds.
The characteristic ions for Triethyltin (TET) in Derivatization 1 are 193, 191, 185, and 163.
