Determination of PAHs and PCBs in water using the TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS. The sample preparation procedure and chromatographic methods were optimized to reduce overall analysis time. Linearity, instrument detection limits (IDLs), robustness and reproducibility were assessed for all targeted compounds for trace analysis of PCBs and PAHs in water matrices.
The aim of this application note is to demonstrate the performance of the Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ 7000 single quadrupole mass spectrometer, coupled with a Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1310 gas chromatograph, for routine determination of 41 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in drinking water.
The separation of 52 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons including the low volatility dibenzopyrenes was performed on a specifically designed Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-PAH GC column
