Guimet Museum

Twenty-five archaeological samples from ancient Egypt were also analysed with the PDMS fibre, at 80°C, over 1 h [25], The samples were from the collections of the Guimet Museum in Lyon and are either balms sampled on different mummies or oils or unguents found in containers inside tombs. The best results were obtained when the samples were compact materials able to be ground just before SPME sampling. The five following examples are taken from the literature [25].
