Analysis of BTEX and Chlorinated Compounds in Water via a Dual Detector Configuration Gas Chromatograph

Instrument Type: GC

The application describes the determination of water pollutants as volatile aromatics and chlorinated hydrocarbons through a dual detector configuration of the Trace1310 GC, using the FID for the quantitation of the aromatic hydrocarbons and a more selective ECD for the quantitation of the halogenated compounds. A double detector configuration allows the simultaneous analysis of both classes of compounds, thanks to a post-column splitting of the effluents to the two detectors. A dedicated Dual Detector Kit has been used to guarantee inertness of the sample path and no dead volumes.
