Extraction-free, direct determination of caffeine in microliter volumes of beverages by thermal desorption-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (2020)
Journal Article
Peng, X., Brown, M., Bowdler, P., & Honeychurch, K. C. (2020). Extraction-free, direct determination of caffeine in microliter volumes of beverages by thermal desorption-gas chromatography mass spectrometry. International Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2020, 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/5405184

An extraction-free method requiring microliter (μL) volumes has been developed for the determination of caffeine in beverages. Using a pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry system, the conditions required for the direct thermal desorption-g...
