The procedures described in this application note meet the requirements for sample extraction as determined by U.S. EPA Method 3545. This method is applicable to the extraction of water-insoluble or slightly water-soluble volatile and semivolatile compounds in preparation for gas chromatographic or GC/MS measurement. This method is applicable to soils, clays, wastes, and sediments containing 250–12,500 μg/kg of BNA compounds.
To demonstrate the advantages of using the Thermo Scientific™ Hypersil GOLD™ VANQUISH PFP, 1.9 µm column and Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ UHPLC system, for the analysis of 22 positional isomers.
The Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra is applied for the analysis of phenols and chlorinated phenols in drinking water by EPA method 528. The separation was performed on a Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5SilMS GC column, with MS detection.
The Thermo Scientific HPLC system is applied for the analysis of phenol standards by EPA method 604. The separation is performed on a Thermo Scientific Acclaim PolarAdvantage (PA) column, with UV detection at 285 nm.
The Thermo Scientific UltiMate 3000 RSLC system is applied for the analysis of EPA 604 phenols. The separation is performed using a Thermo Scientific Acclaim RSLC PolarAdvantage (PA) column, with UV detection at 280 nm.
