EPA Method 504.1 is a common test performed by environmental laboratories for the analysis of 1,2-dibromoethane (EDB), 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), and 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP) in drinking water. This method uses parallel dual-column gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD), the same instrument setup that is used for the analysis of chlorinated pesticides and herbicides. Thus, when selecting a set of capillary columns for EDB, DBCP, TCP analysis, it is advantageous that they work well for a number of different methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rtx-CLPesticides and the Rtx-CLPesticides2 columns provide excellent separation for the compounds listed in Method 504.1, as well as for analytes in several other drinking water methods. The chromatograms below show the analysis of the Method 504.1 target compounds on these columns connected in parallel using a glass \u2018Y\u2019 Press-Tight connector. This configuration is important to ensure that both the primary and confirmation column analyses are performed simultaneously under the same conditions and using the same injection port. Method 504.1 requires that EDB, DBCP, and TCP be fully resolved from the common interference compounds (e.g., chloroform, bromodichloromethane, chlorodibromomethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane, and bromoform). The Rtx-CLPesticides2 columns fully resolved these compounds. Note that the coelution of 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane and bromoform is between two interference compounds; it does not affect the identification or quantification of EDB, DBCP, or TCP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
