Development, Optimisation, and Pre-Validation of a Gas Chromatography—Ion Mobility Spectrometry Method with Preliminary Twofold Enrichment for the Sensitive Detection of N–Nitrosamines in Drinking Water
This study aims to develop, optimise, and evaluate a gas chromatography-drift tube-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) based method with a twofold enrichment strategy consisting of solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by in-tube extraction (ITEX) of the eluate for nine different nitrosamines in drinking water in order to offer a sensitive alternative to the current state of the art.
Expanding Capabilities in Multi-Residue Pesticide Analysis Using the LCMS-8060
Using the Shimadzu Pesticide MRM Library and the Restek Raptor Biphenyl LC column, a single multiresidue LC-MS/MS method was developed for 646 pesticides.
Appropriate Instrumentation for the Chemical Analysis of Cannabis and Derivative Products: Part 1
For the uninitiated, analytical instrumentation can be a confusing mix of abbreviations and hyphenation. In this series of articles, we break down and explain in practical terms what instruments are appropriate for a particular analysis and what to consider when choosing an instrumental technique.
Rapid Screening Analysis of On-Line Purified Residual Pesticides in Crop Extract Using Accurate Mass Information
In this article, an example of comprehensive analysis of residual pesticides in spinach using a Revive In-Line Sample Preparation (ILSP) and the quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer LCMS-9050 is introduced.
Method Development and Column Selection: How the FluoroPhenyl Phase Provides the Power of HILIC and Reversed-Phase Modes in One Column
Column selection is an important part of method development as the quality of critical separations is determined in large part by the retention and selectivity of the analytical column. Although C18 columns are commonly employed, FluoroPhenyl columns provide an orthogonal alternative for method development because they incorporate multiple retention mechanisms and can be used in both reversed-phase (RP) and HILIC modes. This paper explores how FluoroPhenyl columns can be used to improve separations, especially for compounds that are difficult to analyze on a C18, such as basic analytes or small, polar compounds.
Purification of Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Separation Based on the Number of Aromatic Rings Using a Liquid Chromatography Silica Column. An Alternative to Epoxidation
This work presents a new purification approach based on liquid chromatography fractionation on silica using the same column and eluents as for the usual MOSH/MOAH fractionation.
Storing and Handling Volatile Residual Solvent Gases in Secondary Containers
These general guidelines can help extend the shelf life of volatile reference standards, improving analyte recoveries and assisting accurate quantification.
