General description

Tetradecane is a straight-chain alkane, classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC).

Application

The analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Determination of seven volatile organic compounds in the surgically resected colonic tissue samples of colorectal cancer patients by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) following their extraction by headspace- and direct injection- based solid phase microextraction (SPME)
  • Measurement of concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in biogas samples obtained from three different biogas plants by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
  • Simultaneous identification and determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) from air samples using a styrene-divinylbenzene polymer particle and activated carbon particles based sampling device and GC-MS
  • Development and validation of a thermal desorption method coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the determination of VOCs in biogas samples after their collection into inert film bags for sample treatment in multi-sorbent bed tubes
  • Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method-based profiling of volatile organic compounds in the olive fruit headspace extracts

The properties of n-tetradecane/electrolyte emulsions with DPPC or DPPC vesicles in the electrolyte solution were investigated. The DPPC molecules form different aggregates, which possess different surface affinity, size and structure, and therefore we assumed some differences in the adsorption at

Mass transfer of organic contaminants from nonaqueous phase liquids to the aqueous phase can significantly modulate the observable carbon isotope fractionation behavior associated with contaminant transformation. We evaluated the effects of kinetic interphase mass transfer between tetradecane and water on
