Two-dimensional GC can be used to separate complex mixtures of polyaromatic compounds, and MS used to subsequently identify the compounds. In this method, the original sample is injected into a gas chromatograph with one type of column. As the components exit the first GC, they are fed into a second GC, with a different column, for further separation and finally into a mass spectrometer. In this way, compounds that coeluted from the first column are separated on the second. Focant et al. [19] were able to separate polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF), and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyl (cPCB) using this type of analytical procedure, including isotope dilution TOF-MS. These compounds are frequently found as contaminants in soils surrounding industrial settings thus, the ability to separate and identify them is extremely important [6,12,19],...
