Pervasive PFCs: An SPE-LC–MS Method for Their Determination in Water and Wastewater
How to determine PFCs in water by SPE-LC–MS.
The determination of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in water following the recognized international standard method (ISO/DIS 25101) is performed based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) combined with HPLC–MS–MS determination. Application chemists have recently shown that if sample preparation and PFC determination is fully automated; the analysis can be performed more productively - and with significantly improved performance.
Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
