SPME Determination of Algae Compounds in Water

River water in a test tube.

MIB Geosmin SPME testing tests for Geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol. These compounds have an unpleasant odor and a very low odor threshold. The aroma of these compounds can be detected by smell at levels below ten parts per trillion. Thus, developing a reliable sampling and analysis platform for low-level detection is important. The use of MIB Geosmin SPME testing is described in Standard Method 6040D. This application will examine the difference between two SPME sampling devices for the extraction of these compounds.

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.
