After a sulfuric acid clean-up, an aliquot is then analysed using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass selective detector with chemical ionization (GC-ECNI-MS). A liquid chromatography system single quad (LC-MS) or with triple quad mass spectrometry (LC- MS/MS), as described in Annex B , can also be used if the user has demonstrated that the accuracy of measurement is equivalent to that of the GC-ECNI-MS method. In some cases when determining MCCPs using the GC-ECNI-MS method, the presence of sulfochlorinated paraffins and equivalent chain-length chloroalkenes can cause interference. Annex B proposes a LC- MS/MS application method that aims to give a better resolution and eliminates possible false positives determined with the GC-ECNI-MS method. 5 Apparatus and materials Use normal laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following.
5.1 Analytical balance. 5.2 Sealable vessel, with lid, 20 ml, suitable for extraction with n-hexane. 5.3 Ultrasonic bath, with controllable heating capable of maintaining a temperature of (60 ± 5) °C. NOTE A frequency of 40KHz is suitable. 5.4 Pipette, 1 ml to 10 ml capacity. 5.5 Volumetric flask, 2 ml. 5.6 Gas chromatograph and mass selective detector with chemical ionization (GC-ECNI-MS). 5.7 Shaker or agitator, ensuring an efficient mixing of the phases. 6 Reagents If not otherwise defined, analytical reagent grade chemicals shall be used. 6.1 n-hexane, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) No 110-54-3. 6.2 Internal standard (IS) solution, lindane, CAS No 58-89-9, 1 000 µg/ml. 6.3 6.3.1 6.3.2 NOTE Standard solutions, MCCPs, C 14 to C 17 , with different chlorine content, each 100 µg/ml. MCCPs C 14 to C 17 52 % Cl , technical grade, CAS 85535-85-9. MCCPs C 14 to C 17 57 % Cl, technical grade. These MCCP calibration solutions are available commercially. 6.4 Concentrated sulfuric acid, (ρ = 1,84 g/ml at 20 °C). 7 Sampling Sample in accordance with ISO 2418. If sampling in accordance with ISO 2418 is not possible (e.g. leathers from finished products like shoes, garments), provide details about sampling together with the test report. Glue residuals shall be mechanically removed from leather samples.
