Sol-Gel Coatings for SPME
A group of researchers from Universita degli Studi di Parma (Parma, Italy) developed sol-gel?synthesized coatings for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers for analyzing trace-level polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water.
A group of researchers from Universita degli Studi di Parma (Parma, Italy) developed sol-gel-synthesized coatings for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers for analyzing trace-level polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water. The researchers measured the fibers' film thickness, porosity, thermal stability, and pH resistance. A diethoxydiphenylsilane-based coating was found to provide thermal stability to temperatures as high as 400 C. Limits of detection were better than those obtained using a polydimethylsiloxane fiber.
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.
