The purpose of this paper is to propose a simple method for daily inspections of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) system with an instrumental detection limit (IDL) as an indicator. A definition of DLs by ISO is 3.3σwhereσdenotes the standard deviation (SD) of blank measurements. Estimation ofσis carried out according to the function of mutual information (FUMI) theory and actually with commercial software (TOCO19). An IDL which is a combination of a signal area, width and noise level is concluded to be a good indicator for daily inspections compared with each of its constituents. Methyl stearate is used as a standard material for the daily inspection of a programmed-temperature GC–MS system. A short chromatogram of 1800 data points (1.5 min) containing a target signal and background noise is fit for the IDL prediction by TOCO19. The relative SDs (RSDs) based on the theoretically estimatedσare shown to coincide with statistical results from repeated measurements within 95% confidence intervals. Column temperature is observed to affect IDLs through background fluctuation and then temperature-IDL relationship is examined in a range from 170 to 270 °C. Actual daily inspections over a month are demonstrated.
