Identification of Volatiles of the Dinoflagellate Prorocentrum cordatum
The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum cordatum, often called P. minimum, is a potentially toxic alga found in algal blooms. Volatile compounds released by the alga might carry important information, e.g., on its physiological state, and may act as chemical ...

Storage stability of exhaled breath on Tenax TA
Exhaled breath is coming to the forefront of non-invasive biomarker discovery efforts. Concentration of exhaled breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on thermal desorption (TD) tubes with subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has dominated this field.

Solid-phase microextraction using silica fibers coated with tenax-TA films
AbstractSilica fibers (125 μm×1cm) were coated with 3 μm-thick Tenax-TA films and investigated for possible use in solid-phase microextraction. The performance of these fibers was evaluated by comparing them with commercially available polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) SPME fibers.
