PFOS and other perfluorinated compounds are widely used in industrial and consumer applications including stain-resistant coatings for textiles, leather, and carpets, grease-proof coatings for paper products approved for food contact, firefighting foams, mining and oil well surfactants, floor polishes, and insecticide formulations. In recent years, there has been increasing concern over the levels of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals.

Many drugs of abuse (DOA) — whether natural or synthetic — are rapidly excreted from the human body. However, some can persist for extended periods. Screening for traces of DOAs has become commonplace by analyzing human urine with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) or gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) through derivitization of the parent compounds. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) provides an ideal extraction media for DOA compounds, as it can be performed with small sample amounts with rapid turnaround.

Diesel range organics or DRO is the cumulative analysis of extractable alkanes between the ranges C10 through C28 as measured on a flame ionization detector.

Although automating analytical techniques has become status quo, sample preparation is still considered to be the bottleneck of the laboratories processes. Learn how automation can reduce labor and time, increase recoveries and produce consistent, reproducible results. If this and cutting sample preparation costs is important to your laboratory review the new From Sample to Vial Automated Sample Prep Solutions notebook

The EconoPrep^® is designed specifically to automate the difficult, error prone, labor intensive manual processes involved in sample prep for trace analysis. The EconoPrep offers economically priced consumable kits for Environmental and Food Matrices. The system uses reduced solvent making it a green alternative to manual techniques. It automatically performs Sample Cleanup for up to 8 samples in parallel in 40 minutes allowing for same day results. More information
