Orbitrap Exploris GC mass spectrometer analysis of PCDD/F

Thermo Fisher Scientific
14 Apr 2024

Explore the optimization and performance of the Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Exploris™ GC mass spectrometer for the trace analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/F) using high-resolution accurate-mass spectrometry.

PCDD/F, highly toxic compounds formed unintentionally during industrial processes, pose a longstanding global threat. Despite bans, exposure persists. Soil contamination is a primary pathway into the food chain, necessitating robust analysis methods. Gas chromatography-magnetic sector mass spectrometry is the standard, but newer technologies like the Orbitrap Exploris GC offer higher resolution and flexibility for identifying risks through analysis in soil samples at current maximum allowable limits.

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. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
