5.4 Analyze (GC/MS) Mode with Loop

This method is used for analyzing samples with concentration levels in the low part
per million (ppm) to high part per billion (ppb) range. This can be used after Survey
to detect and/ or confirm unknowns in the environment. See

Chapter 6, Methods

for additional information on (GC/MS) methods.

WARNING

Remember that the Survey method must be followed by
an Analyze (GC/MS) method in order to give a positive
identification of the unknown.
