Environmental Analysis

Separation Science, in collaboration with Restek, offers its latest 'Environmental Analysis' eBook featuring applications and methods to help you achieve faster analysis times and increase sample throughput.

Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo, Assistant Professor at the University of Toledo in Ohio, USA explains how she has been focusing on developing analytical tools that can detect and quantify harmful substances, such as PFAS.

This study demonstrates a direct injection approach to PFAS analysis, utilizing a PerkinElmer QSight^® 420 mass spectrometer coupled with UHPLC for the analysis of trace amounts of PFAS in drinking water and surface water samples.

In this study, an LC/MS/MS direct sample injection method was developed, and the results indicate that this simple LC/MS/MS workflow provides an excellent sensitivity and specificity for the analysis of PFASs in drinking and surface water samples.

In this study, different methods for the separation, detection and quantitation of complex polar contaminants by UHPLC/MS/MS in water matrices are demonstrated.

This study demonstrates the use of PerkinElmer’s QSight^® 420 mass spectrometer, coupled with UHPLC for the determination of trace amount of PFOA and PFOS in drinking and surface water samples by means of a direct injection approach.

In this application note, the development of a fast and robust method for the analysis of all analytes listed in EPA Method 8327 is discussed.

Separation Science, in collaboration with Restek, offers an eBook outlining application notes, articles and solutions for fast and simple methods for water analysis including PFAS analysis and LC-MS/MS analysis of acrylamide in drinking water.

Common methods for the analysis of oxyanions require separation with ion chromatography using suppressed conductivity detection. Often to achieve the required detection limits, in some cases for bromate post column derivatization is required using...
