The Analysis of Fire Debris for the Presence of Propan-2-ol Using Dynamic Headspace Concentration and Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

We describe a simple procedure for the identification of propan-2-ol in fire debris. Vapors collected from samples of debris at elevated temperatures, were subsequently dissolved in water prior to being analyzed by headspace gas chromatography with flame ionization detection.
