Analysis of Alkylphenols Using GC-MS/MS and Automated SRM Development

Instrument Type: GCMSMS

This application describes the analysis of alkylphenol compounds in food and environmental matrices, illustrating the productivity and high-quality results from the Thermo Scientific TSQ DUO Triple Quadrupole MS system with automated selected reaction monitoring (SRM) development. AutoSRM was used as useful tool for automated MRM method development and maintenance, delivering an optimized method without tedious and laborious procedures. The Chromeleon CDS software offers excellent processing options for data reviewing, including ion ratio checks and reporting.

Enhanced separation of alkylphenol ethoxylates on a Thermo Scientific Acclaim Surfactant column and a Thermo Scientific Acclaim Mixed-Mode HILIC-1 column

Instrument Type: HPLC

Both the Thermo Scientific Surfactant and Thermo Scientific Acclaim Mixed-Mode HILIC-1 columns offer unique capabilities for the analysis of surfactants. The Acclaim Surfactant 5 µm column shows a complex profile that provides informtion on the distribution of ethoxylates. The Acclaim Mixed-Mode HILIC-1 column condenses the overlapping envelopes into two well-resolved peaks thus offering better quantification and detection limits.
