Phenomenex has published a guide for the application of chromatography in environmental testing.
This 32-page guide presents a comprehensive range of products for the testing of environmental contaminants, along with advice.
Phenomenex's specialised products include sample preparation, HPLC and GC offerings.
The guide contains detailed methods for eight applications: total petroleum hydrocarbon (GROs and DROs), diesel fractionation, GC analysis of pesticides and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), HPLC analysis of PAHs, carbamate pesticides and explosives, and GC/MS analysis of volatile organics and semi-volatiles.
Environmental analysis products also include a Strata-X SPE extraction approach for PAHs and pesticides, which reduces solvent consumption compared with liquid-liquid extraction methods.
Zebron GC analysis solutions for chlorinated pesticides are described, which perform the entire EPA 508/8081 analysis in under 20 minutes - a 50 per cent reduction over other methods.
A Synergi Hydro-RP and Luna Phenyl-Hexyl HPLC product for explosives provides the confirmatory analysis defined in EPA 8330B guidelines, resolving 17 out of 17 components with improved separation and decreased analysis time.
