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).

Rapid determination of active ingredients in sunscreen lotion by normal-Phase chromatography using a Thermo Scientific Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 HPLC column

Instrument Type: HPLC

The Thermo Scientific HPLC system is applied to determine active ingredients in sunscreen lotion, which has been prepared for analysis by liquid-liquid extraction. The separation was performed on a Thermo Scientific Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column in normal-phase mode with UV detection at 305nm.
