| Application: | TAME has been used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in Catalonian groundwater and soil samples by purge-and-trap gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (P&T-GC/MS) and in aqueous solutions by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with GC-MS. It may be used as a reference standard for the identification of the analyte in gasoline-contaminated groundwater by GC combined with various detectors/quantification methods such as photoionization detector (PID), flame ionization detector (FID), or MS. |
| General description: | tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME) is a fuel oxygenate which is utilized as an additive in gasoline to enhance the octane rating and to improve combustion. |
