Since then environmental contamination has been at the forefront of government policy and regulation through US EPA methods for the analysis of environmental pollutants.<\/p>\n<p>EPA 8260 is the standard method for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ground water and solid waste by purge and trap (P&amp;T) gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). EPA 8260 is a comprehensive method with more than 100 VOCs in the target compound list. The method is used to identify and quantify VOCs, with a boiling point &lt;200\u00b0C, in a variety of solid waste matrices, regardless of water content.<\/p>\n<p>The SCION Single Quad (SQ) mass spectrometer has a unique feature, Compound Based Scanning (CBS), for easy automated setup and optimisation of complex mixed mode methods. CBS makes use of libraries that store all the essential information about a compound such as retention time, time window, qualifier and quantifier ions. Compounds are loaded directly into a method, scan times are optimised with data acquisition and processing tables synchronised. Managing large number of SIM acquisitions is made easy in mixed mode.<\/p>\n<p>This application note describes the analytical operating conditions for analysis of US EPA 8260 including Bromofluorobenzene (BFB) tune parameters and calibration details.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1b66b1;\">Experimental <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The SCION 8500-GC coupled with the SCION 8700 SQ MS and Tekmar Atomx XYZ P&amp;T sample concentrator was used to achieve a highly automated and robust solution for VOC analysis. The system can be visualized in Figure 1. Calibration curves were generated using five multi level calibration samples ranging from 0.5 to 200 ppb (\u00b5g\/L), with four internal standards held at a constant concentration. The purge and trap and GC-MS parameters are listed in Tables 1 and 2. The purge and trap conditions for EPA 8260 come factory installed on the Atomx.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65479\" style=\"width: 501px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scioninstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-65479\" src=\"https:\/\/scioninstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Volatile Organic Compounds\" width=\"501\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scioninstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture1-1.jpg 859w, https:\/\/scioninstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture1-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scioninstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture1-1-768x482.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Figure 1.
