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.

Trace analysis of pharmaceuticals and organic contaminants in water

Instrument Type: LCMSMS

We present the reliable and accurate quantitative analysis of contaminants at the pg/mL level in drinking water using the Thermo Scientific EQuan MAX Plus LC-MS system coupled to the Thermo Scientific TSQ Endura triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Excellent reproducibility was shown for the target compounds in tap water using 1 mL injections at 0.37× maximum effluent concentration.

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.
