AutoConcept Environmental Applications
Protocols for environmental contaminant analysis specify high resolution mass spectrometry as the preferred detection method following high resolution gas chromatography. Only this level of instrumentation can eliminate responses from other materials present in complex matrices at sufficiently high sensitivity. AutoConcept is an excellent choice for these dedicated analyses, in particular those with exacting requirements such as the dioxin and furan protocols specified by methods US EPA 1613 and EN 1948.
In addition to dioxin and furan, the AutoConcept Environmental is capable of screening for many other types of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) including:
chlordane
DDT
aldrin
toxaphene
PCBs
chlorobenzenes
dieldrin
phthalates
endrin
heptachlor
mirex
PBBs
HCH
PBDEs
PAHs
PBDFs
PBDDs
BFRs
PBTs
PCTs
PCDPEs
PXDDs
PXDFs
Some typical products that are analysed with the AutoConcept Environmental are:
foods
feeds
fish
dairy products
liver
soils
water
sediments
air
