Two Simple Methods for Measuring Isoprene Emission of Leaves by UV-Spectroscopy and GC-MS

Abstract Two new headspace methods for the analysis of isoprene emission from detached plant leaves are described. The first method is based on the UV-absorption of isoprene emitted by leaves inside quartz cuvettes and can be used for the quantitative spectrophotometric determination of isoprene production. The second technique is a micro-extraction method of isoprene from the cuvette air for GC analysis, and is very suitable for the determination of isotope-labeled isoprene by GC-MS.
