The analysis of flame retardants and pesticides in drinking water is challenging due to the wide mass range of the analysis. However, innovations in mass spectrometry offer faster scanning capabilities. This article discusses the use of a single quadrupole GC mass spectrometer to offer an alternative injection, separation, and detection parameters compared to those cited in EPA Method 527.

News from the chromatography world as of July 2009.

The authors have developed an ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system that incorporates an on-line column pretreatment using a column-switching valve unit and a cartridge column. Cartridge columns packed with 2-µm C18, porous polymer, and deproteinizing materials were developed.
