Due to their low dead volumes, microcolumns with Tenax TA coupled to a capillary column in the modified GC inlet allow analysis of a broad range of compounds (from acetaldehyde to 2-phenylethanol) in a single sample run. In this study, a micro-column was filled with 10 mg of Tenax TA. Chromatograms showed well-resolved peaks even at the beginning of the run. Static headspace was used to pre-concentrate the compounds. The method is rapid, simple and inexpensive.
