An activated charcoal tube 100/50 mg (#2120) may be used if <strong>the</strong> samples are<br />

refrigerated immediately after sampl<strong>in</strong>g of a maximum duration of 15 m<strong>in</strong>utes.<br />

This alternative is recommended if o<strong>the</strong>r organic substances must be analyzed<br />

simultaneously on <strong>the</strong> same sample, only if <strong>the</strong> risk of underestimat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

concentration of methyl ethyl ketone is assumed by <strong>the</strong> user. The analysis can be<br />

done by gas chromatography couple with mass spectrometry (CG-MS, IRSST<br />

method # 369); <strong>in</strong> this case <strong>the</strong> analytical uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty (CVa) is 1.7%.<br />
