Ensuring Seafood Safety with Rapid Screening for Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons Using LC-Fluorescence
21 Apr 2014To prevent consumption of contaminated seafood and minimize the impact on the seafood industry, a fast screening method is required to analyze compounds of concern at the stated levels. This application note demonstrates that, following a simple extraction method using Waters DisQuE Dispersive Sample Preparation Kit QuEChERS, an analysis of PAHs can be achieved in less than 4 minutes using the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class System with Fluorescence Detection.
