Automated On-line SPE-LC/MS/MS Method for Perfluorinated Compounds in Water Samples

contributed by Gerstel | 05/17/2017

Water quality is of the utmost importance and recently the importance of analyzing water for emerging contaminants has been brought to light. Among the emerging compounds being analyzed are perfl uorinated chemicals (PFCs) which have been found to be persistent environmental contaminants derived from various industries. For example, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been used in a number of different industries, including the semiconductor and photographic industries, in some fi refi ghting foams and in hydraulic fl uids used in the aviation industry. Modern analytical labs are looking to automation to help reduce solvent usage and increase sample throughput while ensuring the high quality of the resulting data.
