The proof of the presence of oxygenates in drinking water has raised serious concern regarding the taste and odor aspects. Concerns are also raised about possible human-health implications. This application note describes the analysis of fuel oxygenates in water using the Master GC coupled to the Master DHS/P&T Dynamic Headspace and Purge&Trap Sampler.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).PetrochemicalsPetrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum or natural gas, essential in creating plastics, fuels, and synthetic materials. Analytical techniques help ensure product quality and environmental compliance. Browse equipment for petrochemical analysis in our product directory.Environmental ContaminationContaminants in the environment are harmful chemicals that are present in the air, land and water. These include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and many more.
