Abstract:
The ability to improve detection limits in the determination of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different matrices is desirable. There are several technologies employed including innovative injection techniques and MS technology. Because of these technologies, the laboratory has the ability to use a smaller sample size and still meet aggressive detection limits. The benefits are optimizing laboratory profits and reducing extraction solvent usage. The injection technology and function, application including optimizing detection limits, precision and recoveries will be discussed. Additional applications for this technology will be presented. The financial benefits will also be discussed.
