EPA Method 530: Determination of Selected Semivolatile Organic Chemicals in Drinking Water by SPE and GC/MS
EPA Method 530: Determination of Selected Semivolatile Organic Chemicals in Drinking Water by SPE and GC/MS
18 Jun 2017Recently the US EPA published a list of 30 UCMR4 (the 4th Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule) analytes which may potentially be present in tap water but are not yet subject to EPA’s drinking water standards set under the Safety Drinking Water Act. 4 among the 30 UCMR4 compounds, including o-toluidine, quinoline, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and dimethipin, are determined by EPA method 530 using solid phase extraction (SPE) and GC/MS detection. This application method demonstrates the analysis of a sample of preserved drinking water using SPE and GC/MS.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.
