Metrohm: Speeding up Your IC: Is Faster Always Better?

Speeding up Your IC: Is Faster Always Better?

Influencing factors for chromatographic separation, levers to speed analysis up, gains and losses of the compressed run time.

Per- and poly-fluorinated substances (PFAS) are synthetic organic compounds widely used in products and processes because of their hydrophobic and non-stick properties. Known as ‘forever chemicals’ due to their persistence in the environment, PFAS are identified as a class of environmental contaminants of high concern. Increasingly, environmental and regulatory agencies are taking action to address PFAS contamination, setting sub-parts-per-billion (ppb) tolerance thresholds to limit exposure and protect public health.
While targeted techniques can detect these compounds at low levels, the number of current targets is limited. Consequently, the use of non-targeted High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) is becoming important for the analysis of PFAS. This is due to the rapid rate of detection of novel PFAS in samples and a lack of analytical standards.
Join us for these short two-part series (30 min) to take your PFAS analysis to the next level, where we will demonstrate the benefit of using HRMS workflows for advanced discovery, identification and quantitation of PFAS. 
Learn about recent LC developments and how the Xevo™ G3 QTof, and a SELECT SERIES™ Cyclic™ Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) rise to this analytical challenge. 
Gain practical insights on workflows used by our scientists for your own PFAS investigations; see the range of inlet options available, how to run samples, experience the latest software for data acquisition and interpretation.
