Headspace sampling is excellent for the qualitative or quantitative analysis of volatile species in samples that can be efficiently partitioned into the headspace gas volume from either a liquid or solid matrix. It is also a good technique for the analysis of samples where the entire sample should not be injected into the GC instrument (i.e. dirty samples). Headspace sampling is also particularly amenable to the analysis of trace levels of analytes.
Typical examples of headspace analyses include:

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from wastewater and contaminated land samples

Residual solvents in packaging and pharmaceuticals.
Aroma components from food and beverages.
