This dataset contains templates to assist with the implementation and validation of rapid gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology for the analyses of seized drugs (probe tip injection) and ignitable liquids (liquid and solid phase microextraction (SPME) injection). The validation package includes plans and workbooks for each application, both of which can be modified to fit the methods and approaches currently utilized in the laboratory. A standard operating procedure (SOP) for the rapid GC-MS system is also included in the validation package. Certain commercial equipment, instruments, or materials are identified in this dataset in order to specify the experimental procedure adequately. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor is it intended to imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
