Troubleshooting LC-MS Performance: A Practical Guide
When LC-MS systems underperform, it's not always clear where to start troubleshooting. This webinar will walk you through practical, step-by-step strategies to identify and resolve common issues, ensuring your equipment operates at its best. No more guesswork!
The PFAS Challenge: A Growing Concern
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of chemicals with unique properties, making them invaluable in various industries. However, their persistence in the environment and potential health risks have raised alarms. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed methods to analyze these compounds, including EPA 533, 537.1, 8327, and 1633, using advanced column technologies.
But here's where it gets controversial: Recent studies suggest that larger injection volumes and simplified sample preparation can expedite analysis. Yet, these methods may raise questions about data integrity and accuracy. What's your take on this trade-off?
Unlocking Ultrashort Chain PFAS Analysis
Ultrashort chain PFAS, such as trifluoracetic acid (TFA) and PFPrA, present unique challenges due to their low retention and sensitivity in LC-MS/MS. While mixed-mode HILIC has shown promise, it's not without limitations. Enter the innovative HALO® PCS - a reversed-phase, superficially porous particle silica with a twist. Its positive charge surface chemistry and hydrophobic silane modifier offer enhanced performance for short-chain PFAS analysis while maintaining the resolution for mid- and long-chain compounds.
