Organic Pollutant Extraction Method Comparison
Researchers from the University of the Basque Country (Bilbao, Spain) have compared two extraction techniques as preparation methods for analyzing organic pollutants polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, phthalate esters, nonylphenols, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in water samples.
Researchers from the University of the Basque Country (Bilbao, Spain) have compared two extraction techniques as preparation methods for analyzing organic pollutants polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, phthalate esters, nonylphenols, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in water samples. The analyses consisted of stir-bar sorptive extraction coupled with thermal desorption gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and membrane-assisted solvent extraction coupled with large volume injection-programmed temperature vaporization GC–MS. They examined variables such as extraction solvent, extraction time, sample volume, and desorption parameters, and found that both procedures produced similar results.
Gulf Coast Conference: Increasing Density and Viscosity Throughput with Difficult Samples
October 19th 2023Daniel Wolbrecht, senior technical sales consultant at Anton Paar, held a workshop at the Gulf Coast Conference in Galveston, Texas, focusing on how heated autosampler units can help analyze difficult samples.
