Traditional extraction typically involve intensive manual LLE shakes at both pH 2 and 12 prone heavy emulsions and low recoveries or CLLE for traditional base, neutral, and acid for semivolatiles extractions can take up to 24hrs. By incorporating automated SPE with multi-bed sorbents, base, neutral, and acid for semivolatiles samples can be extracted with a single pass procedure without emulsions, centrifuging, and hours of manual labor. The FMS TurboTrace ABN SPE system is designed to handle multiple cartridges and provides a fully automated solution for the semivolatile extraction process.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
Adoption of SIFT-MS for VOC Pollution Monitoring in South Korea
March 27th 2024This publication reviews VOC pollutant monitoring applications of SIFT-MS in South Korea. SIFT-MS has been applied to emission source characterization, fenceline monitoring, ambient monitoring, pollution mapping, and incident response (including the use of drone-based sampling) for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), odor nuisance species, and compounds that have high ozone formation potential (OFP) and/or contribute to secondary aerosol (SOA) formation.
