Analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by GC/MS using EPA method 608

Instrument Type: GCMS

The Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra is applied for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by EPA method 608. The separation was performed on a Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5SilMS GC column, with MS detection.

Analysis of total organic carbon (TOC) by GC-MS

Instrument Type: GCMS

In this work the suitability and selective performance of the Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5SilMS for the analysis of total organic carbon was demonstrated. TOC can be used as a useful measure of the broad estimation or residual pesticides and other carbonaceous material. It is especially useful when coupled to mass selective detection as it allows identification and quantification of specific contaminating materials. Note the retention times in the component table match the component number and are not the actual retention time.

Excellent performance of the Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5SilMS GC column for the analysis of chlorinated pesticides by GC-MS

Instrument Type: GCMS

In this work the suitability of the Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5SilMS column for conformational identification of chlorinated pesticides when using US EPA methods 608, 617 and 8080 is demonstrated.
