An Easy Way to a Fast Universal Method for Surfactant Analysis
The Column
Surfactants present a real challenge to the analytical chemist as they are a very complex class of chemical compounds.
Surfactants present a real challenge to the analytical chemist as they are a very complex class of chemical compounds. As well as having widespread use in household cleaners, personal care products and cosmetics, they are also found in photochemicals, oil field chemicals, construction materials, adhesives, lubricants, metalworking, mining, pulp and paper and pharmaceutical products.
New Study Uses MSPE with GC–MS to Analyze PFCAs in Water
January 20th 2025Scientists from the China University of Sciences combined magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to analyze perfluoro carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in different water environments.
SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
