Quantitative and Semi-Quantitative Determination of PPCPs and Their By-Products in Wastewater by Orbitrap MS

Instrument Type: LCMS

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) detected in surface and drinking waters, as well as in treated wastewater. They are an issue of increasing international attention due to potential environmental impacts. We developed an analytical method capable of determining PPCPs and their by-products in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) samples. This workflow was applied in a survey of 35 permeate samples obtained from a pilot anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR).

Detection of Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products, and Pesticides in Water Resources by APCI-LC-MS/MS

Instrument Type: LCMSMS

We developed a simple method for the simultaneous determination of trace levels of compounds from a diverse group of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and personal care products using SPE and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We determined which selected substances are present in significant quantities in the water resources around the Montreal region.

AN104: Analysis of Personal Care Products by Ion Chromatography

Instrument Type: IC

Ion chromatography (IC) with conductivity detection complements traditional HPLC-UV pharmaceutical separations. IC is especially useful when the analytes do not contain chromophores, or when it is desirable to determine chromophoric and nonchromophoric molecules in a single run. This application note addresses the use of IC for the analysis of personal care products, including compounds found in some toothpastes, hair permanent solutions, and acne medications. Several examples illustrate the variety of separations that can be achieved using IC.

Extraction of phencyclidine from urine using Thermo Scientific HyperSep Servo+ PCP SPE and GC-MS analysis on a Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5MS column

Instrument Type: GCMS

The Thermo Scientific GC system is applied for the analysis of phencyclidine from urine. The samples are prepared using Thermo Scientific HyperSep Servo+ PCP SPE cartridges, and the separation is performed on a Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5MS column, with MS detection. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
