EPA Method 8141B Organophosphorus Compounds by GC-NPD

Monitoring organophosphorus pesticides in water is essential to protect human health and ensure regulatory compliance. This application note demonstrates the analysis of organophosphorus (OP) compounds in water in accordance with US EPA Method 8141B, using gas chromatography with a nitrogen-phosphorus detector (GC-NPD).


The analysis of BTEX in water with EST Purge and Trap

BTEX compounds are key indicators of petroleum-related water contamination and require sensitive, reliable analytical methods to meet environmental and regulatory demands. This application note demonstrates the robust determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) in water using the SCION 8300 or 8500 GC.


Analysis of Residual Solvents in Pharmaceuticals by Headspace-FID

Solvents are widely used during the synthesis of many pharmaceutical products. It is not always possible to remove all solvents from the final product, hence it is important that all products are tested for residual solvents.


Determination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in water using GC-ECD

Learn how to determine Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in water using Gas Chromatography with Electron Capture Detection (GC-ECD).


Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Water Samples by GC-MS (SQ)

Discover how using SCION instruments’ GC-MS SQ can be used to analyze the semi volatile organic compounds: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).


EPA 8260: Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds by GC-MS

This application note describes the analytical operating conditions for analysis of US EPA 8260 including Bromofluorobenzene (BFB) tune parameters and calibration details.


Determination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in water using GC-SQMS

Discover how the SCION Instruments SQ MS is able to achieve the challenging LOQ of ≤0.5ppb for drinking water according to the EPA; national drinking water regulations. Learn to easily identify compounds with our built in NIST library search tool.


The Mini Gas Splitter: SCION Instruments’ Tool to Improve Analytical Accuracy
