Abstract

Isoprene is a one of the biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and it is known as a sourceof the tropospheric ozone and formaldehyde. In addition, isoprene is a trace component of the exhaled breathand it is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of diseases such as lung cancer. In these regards, isoprenegas standards are required for the accurate measurement of isoprene in air samples. To establish a standardfor isoprene gas, gravimetric preparation and characterization of primary gas standards were studied. The primarygas standards were produced independently in 4 aluminum cylinders and concentrations were examined by GCFID. As a result, the uncertainty of the gravimetric preparations including purity of the raw material was 0.01%and reproducibility of the preparation of independent 4 cylinders was 0.08%. The primary gas standards forisoprene showed 14 months of long-term stability. The relative expended uncertainty of 2.8% (95% of confidencelevel, k=1.96) was assigned to the certified value of 10 μmol/mol level of isoprene based on the quantitativeevaluation of the purity, weighing, reproducibility, adsorption and long-term stability.
