Speciation Analysis of Organotin Compounds by Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography-Flame Photometric Detector using Quartz Surface-induced Tin Emission

The growing concern about the fate of organotin in the environment created an imperative need for the development of faster, more sensitive and reliable methods for speciation analysis of organotin compounds. A novel method has been developed in our laboratory for the extraction and determination of butyltin species in water by solid phase microextraction (SPME) combined with capillary gas chromatography-flame photometric detector(GC-FPD).
