Use of Thermo Scientific Exploris 120 Orbitrap HRAM-LC-MS for analysis of 47 PFAS compounds in UK waters

John Quick from ALS Environmental introduces a method designed using high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) on the LC Orbitrap™ system for studying 47 PFAS compounds in UK waters. Quick discusses his team's methodology using the Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Exploris™ 120, presenting an extraction method based on EPA 1633, and achieving limits of detection of <1 ng/L for all compounds with good precision and bias. See how high-resolution MS provides scope for advancement in targeted and untargeted PFAS screening methods.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.HRAMPFASWater AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
