Automated Liquid Extraction of PAH (Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbon) Compounds in Water
Extraction of Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds from water involves using a large volume of solvent. The advent of more sensitive Mass Spectrometers (MS) coupled with Large Volume Injection (LVI) onto the Gas Chromatograph (GC) has aided in better detection of PAH compounds. In consequence, micro-extraction reduces sample size, solvent usage, container and freight cost thus decreasing laboratory costs and sample preparation time. This application will investigate an automated liquid-liquid extraction technique for the preparation of PAH water samples.
Our Impact
EST Analytical has been helping labs achieve their analytical goals for over 30 years. Our vision is to engineer reliable laboratory instruments that enable partners to make the world a better place.
To help labs excel we offer Application Notes across our entire product line. They are a resource that explains the technology, performance, and abilities of our products as used against certain methodologies and or applications.
Whether your needs center around a USEPA method, an ASTM Standard, or a sample matrix-based outcome EST has you covered. If you don’t see the technical direction you need, simply contact us. We also offer sample analysis in our onsite Applications Lab.
