AB801: Automated Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) of Endocrine Disruptors in Water

Instrument Type: Automated Sample Prep

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) include a wide range of compounds that have the potential to interfere with the body’s endocrine system. Drinking water supplies need to be tested for the presence of EDCs because of their effect on hormones. The solid-phase extraction (SPE) method described in this Application Brief provides provides a quick and simple means of concentrating the components using controlled flow rates and volumes that will consistently produce good recoveries.

An improved analysis of antioxidants in edible oils using a Thermo Scientific Accucore Polar Premium HPLC column

Instrument Type: HPLC

AOAC Method 983.15 was developed to assay levels in finished food products. This method specifies a C18 column that provides suitable selectivity in many cases, but sometimes there can be matrix interferences. In this work the Thermo Scientific Accucore Polar Premium HPLC column, provides the speed, efficiency, and alternate selectivity to resolve propyl gallate from the unknown matrix peak.
