Fragrance Materials Test Mix
- Performance evaluation for essential oils and fragrance chemicals.
- System Suitability Mixture for GC systems and analytical columns.
- Convenient 0.5mL quantity for easy dilution to recommended working solution.
The Fragrance Materials Association (FMA) has proposed a method for analyzing essential oils on polar and nonpolar capillary GC columns. A performance evaluation mixture should be used to aid in detecting inlet problems, stationary phase degradation, loss of resolution, changes in sensitivity, and the presence of reactive sites in the sample pathway. Our test mix is consistent with the mixture proposed by the FMA. The required 5% test solution is made by diluting the 0.5mL of neat mixture to 10mL with acetone. The working solution will be stable for up to one week if transferred to a dark container and stored refrigerated.
