SBSE Used in Triclosan Analysis
Scientists from Hoshi University (Tokyo, Japan) and the National Research Institute of Police Science (Chiba, Japan) employed stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and thermal desorption gas chromatography?mass spectrometry (GC?MS) for analyzing 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol, otherwise known as triclosan, in river water samples.

In the SBSE method, a magnetic stir bar coated with polydimethylsiloxane was added to a 10-mL water sample, and the sample was stirred for 120 min at room temperature. The coated stir bar was then subjected to thermal desorption and GC–MS.

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).
