Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
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.
