Determine 6PPD-quinone in aqueous matrices

UCT, Inc.
6 May 2024

Tire degradation on roadways releases chemicals, including 6PPD, which forms the toxic compound 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) when reacting with the ozone, posing risks to ecosystems and human health, notably affecting coho salmon mortality. The EPA's Draft Method 1634, released in January 2024, outlines the extraction and analysis of 6PPD-Q in water, utilizing an extracted internal standard (EIS) for concentration measurement and a native internal standard (NIS) for extraction efficiency. UCT, Inc. compares SPE extraction using UCT’s EnviroClean® cartridges, highlighting ECHLD156-P as showing the best results. Further, an optimized LC/MS/MS analysis method, using UCT’s SelectraCore C18 HPLC Column, displays sensitivity below EPA standards and meets method criteria for linearity and reproducibility.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats.
