Analysis of polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Thermo Electron has developed a complete GC/MS solution capable of performing the most reliable and precise analysis of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
EQuan's unique on-line sample enrichment technique significantly reduces analysis time, from days to minutes, while maintaining sensitivity and specificity.
EQuan eliminates sample preparation by allowing samples to be directly injected and enriched followed by immediate LC-MS/MS analysis, thereby reducing both processing time and cost.
In addition, the on-line sample preparation method reduces human error and consequent loss of sample.
Limits of Detection (LODs) are considerably improved compared to conventional injection techniques (up to 100 times) with detection limits of 10ppt (parts per trillion) easily achieved.
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a recorded webinar on the EQuan system's use for environmental and drinking water analysis.
Presented by Jonathan Beck, Ph.D., this 25 minute webinar includes an explanation of the EQuan system, plus real-life data from EQuan customers, including the Laboratoire Department de L'eau in Toulouse, France.
The EQuan solution consists of a TSQ Quantum series mass spectrometer, two HPLC pumps with a pre-concentration column, an analytical column, a CTC autosampler and an EQuan kit consisting of columns and HPLC accessories.
EQuan can use any of the TSQ Quantum series instruments depending on the specific application, including the TSQ Quantum Access, TSQ Quantum Discovery MAX or the TSQ Quantum Ultra.
