What does headspace sampling analyse?

  • A.The first fraction eluting from the column
  • B.The vapour above a sample rather than the sample
  • C.The residue left after a sample evaporates
  • D.The gas dissolved within a liquid sample

Answer: B

Equilibrating a sample in a sealed vial and injecting only the vapour above it delivers the volatile compounds while leaving the involatile matrix behind entirely. Residues, dissolved gases and early fractions are other things. Sampling only what is volatile is both a separation and a clean-up in one step, which is why blood alcohol and residual solvent determinations are done this way.
