Welcome to Technology Trends

The purpose of the proposed method is to demonstrate the quantitative performance of the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 9610 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS system equipped with the Advanced Electron Ionization (AEI) source for the analysis of PAHs and PCBs in a single run.

• The Thermo Scientific TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS system, equipped with the Advanced Electron Ionization (AEI) source, has been used for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a single run. PCBs and PAHs are toxic organic pollutants that can contaminate food and environmental matrices, including soils, water, sun cream, and salmon. GC-MS/MS offers an increase in selectivity, reducing matrix interferences, and increasing sample confidence.
• However, the analysis of PAHs and PCBs in various matrices presents challenges, such as meeting regulatory limits and requirements consistently.
• Often separate methods are used, which adds to the number of analyses and reduces sample capacity. The TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS was used for the determination of PAHs and PCBs in water samples, with the sample preparation procedure and chromatographic methods chosen to reduce overall analysis time.
• Linearity and instrument detection limits (IDLs) were assessed in the experiments for all compounds, as well as an extended robustness study over the reproducibility of the detection of trace levels of PCBs and PAHs.
