Popis: A new arrangement of the INCAT (inside needle capillary adsorption trap) device with Carbopack X and Carboxen 1000 as sorbent materials was applied for sampling, preconcentration and injection of C6 C19 n-alkanes and their monomethyl analogs in exhaled breath samples. For the analysis both GC–MS/MS and GC × GC-FID techniques were used. Identification of the analytes was based on standards, measured retention indices and selective SRM transitions of the individual isomers. The GC–MS/MS detection limits were in the range from 2.1 pg for n-tetradecane to 86 pg for 5-methyloctadecane. The GC × GC-FID detection limits ranged from 19 pg for n-dodecane to 110 pg for 3-methyloctane.
