Abstract: P. Lashukov (IBMP) gave the presentation on changes to testing methods used on the ground in their group, specifically focused on detecting alcohols, ketones, acetates, and aromatic hydrocarbons. This certified method is a good addition to GOST ISO 16000-6- 2016. This method allows you to confirm the compounds and their concentrations obtained by mass spectrometry. The method also shows good convergence and reproducibility in the analysis of high concentration alcohols. The samples can be collected in a glass pipette, chromatography syringe, or sampling bag made of PTFE and Theraplast, and then injected into a GC-FID (gas chromatograph for separation and flame ionization detector). Using this method, a very small sample is required (<1 mL) and yields robust results.
