The Analysis of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether Flame Retardants by GC-MS/MS
10 Nov 2014In this application note a study was carried out using the Bruker SCION TQ triple quadrupole gas chromatography mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode to analyze ocean sediment and sewage outfall extracts for polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants. The calibration range, method detection limits and precision were all determined on the SCION TQ, which demonstrated excellent sensitivity and discrimination against matrix interferences in difficult extracts prepared with little or no clean-up.

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.
