Description
- This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-207865 filed Oct. 9, 2014, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a reference sample for analysis to be used for calibration or precision control of an analyzer such as a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and in particular, to a reference sample that is appropriate for quantitative analysis of a specific component included in a sample through analysis of a gas generated by heating the sample.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- A gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer is known as a device for identifying a component included in a sample or for quantitating a specific component. A pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer is frequently used for quantitative analysis of a microscopic amount of a component included in a sample, for example, an additive in a high polymer material such as a resin. In such a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, a pyrolyzer is arranged in the front stage of an injection port for a sample gas to be subjected to the gas chromatograph so that a gas generated by heating the sample is directly led to the injection port of the gas chromatograph. The pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer is characterized in that a pretreatment of a sample is unnecessary, and a precise quantitative analysis for a specific component from even a microscopic amount of sample is possible.
- That is to say, a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry has such an advantage that a quick analysis is possible even in the case where an extraction process is complicated and requires a long treatment period, or in the case where the extraction is difficult because a pretreatment for separating a target component from a molded item such as solvent extraction is unnecessary.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration of a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-gas spectrometer. The spectrometer in this example is provided with acontrol unit 11, apyrolyzer 12 having a heating furnace, agas chromatograph 13, and amass spectrometer 14. - The
control unit 11 is provided with apersonal computer 11 a for controlling the entirety and coordinating data processing, and atemperature controller 11 b for controlling the temperature of thepyrolyzer 12. Thepyrolyzer 12 may be a double-shot pyrolyzer or a multi-shot pyrolyzer, and its operation can be controlled on the basis of a temperature control signal fed from thetemperature controller 11 b. - The
gas chromatograph 13 has such a configuration that aseparation column 13 b is provided inside anoven 13 a, where theseparation column 13 b communicates with thepyrolyzer 12 through one end so that a gas generated by heating a sample within thepyrolyzer 12 can be led into theseparation column 13 b. - The other end of the
separation column 13 b is directly connected to an injection port for a sample of themass spectrometer 14 so that the gas that has passed through theseparation column 13 b can be led into themass spectrometer 14, and thus, analysis is carried out in accordance with the gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. - Calibration and precision control are necessary for the device in order to quantitate a specific component included in a sample using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer such as the above-described pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and a reference sample for analysis is indispensable for the calibration and precision control.
- In general, a resin pellet or a resin powder, where a reference sample (target component) is distributed in a base of a high polymer material so that the concentration is uniform at a certain level, is used as the reference sample for analysis of a microscopic amount of component such as an additive in a molded resin item (see Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2012-208081
- The conventional state of a reference sample for analysis, that is to say, a resin pellet or a resin powder, assumes a pretreatment for separating a target component from a molded item such as solvent extraction, and thus cannot necessarily be said to be appropriate for the use for calibration or precision control of a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer with which a sample can be directly analyzed without a pretreatment. The pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer is different from a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer in that a pretreatment is not necessary for a reference sample. In addition, it is necessary to shave an appropriate microscopic amount off from a resin pellet, for example, using a knife when the resin pellet is used as the reference sample for the pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.
- There is also a problem with these pellet and powder states such that the reference substance (target substance) contained therein easily evaporates from the surface, which lowers the concentration in the case where the reference substance easily evaporates.
- The present invention is provided in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a reference sample for analysis that is optimal for quick analysis using a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer with which direct analysis is possible without a pretreatment when an additive in a resin material is quantitated, where the reference sample for analysis can prevent the reference substance from evaporating so that precise calibration is possible all the time.
- In order to achieve the above object, the reference sample for analysis according to the present invention is a reference sample to be used for calibration of a quantitative analyzer, with which a target component or target components contained in a sample can be analyzed through gas analysis of a gas generated by heating the sample, and is characterized in that the reference sample is a roll of sheet having: a base made of a high polymer; and a target component or target components distributed in the base in such a manner that the normality is uniform.
- In order to achieve the same object, the reference sample for analysis according to
Claim 2 of the invention is a reference sample to be used for calibration of a quantitative analyzer, with which a target component or target components contained in a sample can be analyzed through gas analysis of a gas generated by heating the sample, and is characterized in that the reference sample is a sheet, with the sheet being cut into pieces of a predetermined size and the cut pieces being layered on top of each other, having: a base made of a high polymer; and a target component or target components distributed in the base in such a manner that the normality is uniform. - In order to achieve the same object, the reference sample for analysis according to
Claim 3 of the invention is a reference sample to be used for calibration of a quantitative analyzer, with which a target component or target components contained in a sample can be analyzed through gas analysis of a gas generated by heating the sample, and is characterized in that the reference sample is a sheet, with both sides, front and rear of the sheet, being coated with a film for evaporation prevention, having: abase made of a high polymer; and a target component or target components distributed in the base in such a manner that the normality is uniform. - An appropriate structure that can be adopted for the inventions according to
Claims 1 through 3 is one such that each target component is contained with a concentration of 30 mg/kg to 2000 mg/kg. - In the inventions according to
Claims 1 through 4, it is desirable for the thickness of the sheet to be 0.05 mm to 1.5 mm (Claim 5), and it is more desirable for the thickness to be 0.1 mm to 1.3 mm. - The sheet in the present specification has flexibility to such an extent that it can be easily rolled up and may be interchangeable with other terms expressing the same properties such as film or tape. That is to say, the term “sheet” in the present specification covers all the concepts of the state of a material having flexibility to such an extent that it can be easily rolled up.
- Though it is preferable for the high polymer material used for the base in the present invention to be a thermoplastic high polymer such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyvinyl chloride, there is not necessarily a limitation to this as long as it is an organic high polymer.
- The present invention has been achieved after acquiring such knowledge that it is most appropriate for the state of a reference sample for analysis to be used for calibration or precision control of a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer to be a sheet of a reference polymer where a target component or target components (reference component or reference components) is/are distributed uniformly in a base made of a high polymer material, judging from the point of view of the amount of the reference sample and the work of collecting such an amount.
- When the reference sample is in a sheet form, a necessary amount of reference sample can be collected easily and efficiently through a single or multiple punching out operation using a micro-puncher or another puncher in order to use the reference sample in sheet form for calibration or precision control of the spectrometer. In addition, the reference sample in sheet form can be rolled up, cut into pieces of an appropriate size so that the pieces are layered on top of each other, or coated with an appropriate film for evaporation prevention on the two sides, front and rear, of the sheet, and thus, the target component or target components contained in the reference sample can be prevented from evaporating even in the case where the component or the components has/have volatility.
- Judging from the amount used for a single calibration or a single precision control operation, the area of the sheet to be punched out by means of a micro-puncher or another puncher as well as the operability of the puncher, and the ease of handling of the sheet, it is preferable for the thickness of the reference sample in sheet form in the present invention to be in a range from 0.05 mm to 1.5 mm. Judging from the points of view of the amount of reference sample used for a single calibration operation and the ease of work, it is more preferable for the thickness to be in a range from 0.1 mm to 1.3 mm as described below.
- When the size (diameter) of the hole punched out by the puncher is 1 mm to 3 mm judging from the ease of work for punching and it is calculated that an amount of sample for a single calibration or precision control operation can be collected in a single or double punching operation, the thickness of the reference sample in sheet form should be 0.1 mm to 1.3 mm because the amount of sample for a single calibration or precision control operation is generally 0.5 mg to 1.0 mg.
- According to the present invention, a high polymer material where a target component or target components is/are distributed with a uniform normality is stretched into a thin sheet, and the sheet is rolled up, cut into pieces of an appropriate size so that the pieces are layered on top of each other, or coated with a film for evaporation prevention on the two sides, front and rear, of the sheet, and therefore, the target component or the target components can be effectively prevented from evaporating even in the case where the target component or target components has/have volatility. In addition, an amount of a reference sample that is necessary for calibration or precision control of the spectrometer can be easily collected through a single or multiple punching out operation using a micro-puncher or another puncher, and therefore, a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer with which a sample can be directly analyzed without a pretreatment can be efficiently calibrated.

FIG. 1(A) is a diagram showing the appearance of an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 1(B) is a diagram showing a state where a sheet has been punched out by means of a micro-puncher; -
FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B) are diagrams illustrating an operation of a micro-puncher in order to prepare a reference sample; -
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the appearance of another embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional diagram showing the appearance of still another embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of an example of a pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. - In the following, the embodiments of the present invention are described in reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1(A) is a diagram showing the appearance of an embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 1(B) is a diagram illustrating how a reference sample to be used for calibration is collected by punching out a certain point of the sheet of the embodiment. - In this example, a number of phthalate esters, which are target components, are uniformly distributed in a base of a highly dense polyethylene with a prescribed concentration, and the base is stretched into a thin sheet having a thickness of 0.2 mm and a width of 40 mm, and thus, a
reference sample sheet 1 is fabricated and 10 meters of this sheet is rolled up to such a state as shown inFIG. 1(A) . Two types of sheets where the concentrations of the target component are 100 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg are prepared so that these two types can be used as reference samples for span calibration. - When the
standard sample sheet 1 is rolled up as described above, the front and rear surfaces make close contact with each other, except the outermost portion, and therefore, this state can prevent the target components from evaporating even when the target components have volatility. - When such a reference sample for analysis is used for calibration or precision control of a spectrometer, as shown in FIG. 1(B), the end portion of the roll of the
reference sample sheet 1 is unwound, and a portion that was rolled inside the portion of the roll that is exposed to the outside is cut out and a circle is punched out from this using the below-described micro-puncher, and thus, a punched-outpiece 1 a is collected. Here, the symbol H in the figure denotes a hole created after the punching out operation. -
FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B) are diagrams showing an enlarged end portion of a micro-puncher and illustrating how thereference sample sheet 1 is punched out by the micro-puncher. Themicro-puncher 2 in this example has such a structure that apunching blade 2 b is formed at the end of a circularouter cylinder 2 a, and a pushingrod 2 c is provided inside theouter cylinder 2 a so as to be freely displaceable in the axial directions and remains stationary near the top when being pulled by a coil spring (not shown). - In the punching operation, as shown in
FIG. 2(A) , thepunching blade 2 b of theouter cylinder 2 a is forced into thereference sample sheet 1 in a state where the pushingrod 2 c is located near the top so that the resulting punched-outpiece 1 a is in such a state that it stays inside theouter cylinder 2 a. When a resisting force is applied to the pulling force of the coil spring so that the pushingrod 2 c is displaced downwards, as shown inFIG. 2(B) , the punched-outpiece 1 a is pushed out of theouter cylinder 2 a. When this operation has been carried out once or repeated a number of times, a reference sample for calibration or precision control of the pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer inFIG. 5 can be collected, and thus, the reference sample can be efficiently collected with an extremely simple operation. -
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the appearance of another embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the samereference sample sheet 1 as inFIGS. 1(A) and 1(B) is cut into pieces of an appropriate size, and the pieces are layered on top of each other and bound byflexible binders 3 such as rubber in two places. The sheet pieces may be bound by a rubber binder in one place. This structure also allows each cut piece of thereference sample sheet 1 to make close contact with the other pieces on the front and rear, except the sheet pieces in the uppermost and lowermost layers, and therefore, a volatile target component can be prevented from evaporating even when such a component is included. In addition, the sample can be collected from a sheet piece other than the sheet pieces in the uppermost and lowermost layers using a micro-puncher in the same manner as in the above-described example. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional diagram showing still another embodiment of the present invention. This example relates to a structure where the same cut pieces of an appropriate size of thereference sample sheet 1 as inFIG. 3 are coated with a film forevaporation prevention 4 on the two sides, front and rear. The material of the film forevaporation prevention 4 is not particularly limited as long as it is a resin through which a volatile component cannot pass, and this film forevaporation prevention 4 is made to make close contact with the two sides, front and rear, of thereference sample sheet 1. The state of close contact may be maintained through pressure from the two sides, front and rear, by means of a clip or the like if necessary. In this example as well, a volatile component can be prevented from evaporating from thereference sample sheet 1 in the case where such a component is included. In addition, a sample can be collected through punching out from the sheet after the film forevaporation prevention 4 has been removed from the front and the rear using a micro-puncher in the same manner as in the previous examples. - 1 Reference sample sheet
