Small volume of sample in a headspace vessel maintained at a temperature sufficient to cause complete evaporation of analytes.
Notes:
- The full-evaporation technique is used with both static headspace analysis and dynamic headspace analysis.
- Equilibrium between the condensed and vapor phases no longer exists. As a consequence, the possibility of matrix interferences is reduced and the fraction extracted for low-volatility compounds is increased.
