Determination of Selected Organic Contaminants in Drinking Water by Aqueous Direct Injection and LC/MS/MS

This application note outlines a direct aqueous injection-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of 11 selected organic contaminants in drinking water. An Aqueous C18 HPLC column was utilized for analyte retention and separation, and calibration curves were constructed using calibration standards prepared in reagent water with preservative reagents for analyte equilibration.
