Determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Volatile organic compound (VOC) measurement quantifies substances that are easily vaporized at room temperature and are often found in materials, chemicals, or indoor environments. VOCs include hydrocarbons, solvents, aldehydes, alcohols, or terpenes, and their monitoring is essential for assessing air quality, material safety, or regulatory compliance (REACH, BREEAM, etc.).

The analysis is generally carried out by thermal desorption coupled with gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) or by headspace GC-MS. This method applies to many matrices: polymers, packaging, cosmetics, solvents, paints or textiles.

It enables precise detection, even at trace levels, in the context of migration, emissions or product safety tests.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
