Due to the use of a high gas flow, the initial concern of a loss of already dissolved species from the DMSO solution within the experiment time was considered and excluded (Figure ). However, because of the rapidity at which the inert gas carried the sublimated species to the trapping liquid, it was also found that not all of the sublimate quantitatively dissolved in DMSO, resulting in an average (more than an absolute) qualification and quantification of the analyte.
