Overcome the memory effect in dioxins extraction with ETHOS X

2 Nov 2022

In this application note, Milestone shows the use of Milestone’s ETHOS X with fastEX-24 eT technology for the extraction of dioxins from environmental matrices, with emphasis on one of the most common challenges of this application: the carryover effect.

ETHOS X microwave extraction system for organic pollutants determination

Milestone

Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers superior lab efficiency in the determination of organic pollutants with microwave green extraction technique. Typical applications include chlorinated pesticides, semi-volatile organics, PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated herbicides, phenols, organophosphorus pesticides, dioxins and furans. ETHOS™ X with the fastEX-24 rotor allows the simultaneous extraction of 24 samples in 40 minutes with minimal solvent usage. By using disposable and inexpensive 100 mL

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.Environmental ContaminationContaminants in the environment are harmful chemicals that are present in the air, land and water. These include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and many more.DioxinsDioxins are a group of persistent environmental pollutants (POPs) that comprise of chlorinated organic chemicals. These airborne particles can deposit on plants or in water, and animals can accumulate these highly toxic molecules in their fat.Matrix EffectsPersistent Organic Pollutants
