Static Headspace

Static Headspace is a technique used for sampling the gas phase of a sample. The technique can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Static headspace is one of the most popular techniques for gas chromatography due to its versatility for analysing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a complex variety of matrices. This is because it eliminates tedious sample preparation steps, as well as prevents contamination problems that are common to other sample introduction techniques.
