LC/MS/MS: improved throughput and flexibility for compliant drinking water analysis with dual source capability

PerkinElmer
10 Mar 2023

Acrylamide has gained notoriety over the past years as it can cause certain cancers. Polyacrylamides are often used as flocculants in the water clarification process and can lead to the leaching of the monomer acrylamide into our drinking water systems. In this application note, discover the benefits of the dual source capability of the PerkinElmer QSight™ Triple Quadrupole LC/MS/MS for a sensitive determination of organic contaminants in water samples that require different ionization techniques. Further, explore how using the QSight LC/MS/MS dual source can provide a simpler, faster, and more sensitive method for contaminants in water with method improvements compliant to current European regulations.
