Implementation of the US EPA Method 524.2 for the analysis of VOCs in drinking water

Thermo Fisher Scientific
16 Aug 2024

Analytical testing labs play a crucial role in monitoring surface, ground, and drinking water for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Common by-products in the processing of household and industrial products, VOCs can contaminate water sources, potentially harming the environment and public health. Discover how the Teledyne LABS Tekmar Lumin Purge and Trap (P&T) concentrator paired with the AQUATek LVA autosampler, along with Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ 7610 MS, and TRACE™ 1610 GC system effectively adhere to U.S. EPA Method 524.2 for analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water. This advanced setup ensures precise quantitation with superior method linearity, detection limits, and accuracy, meeting stringent regulatory requirements for environmental testing labs.

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.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.
