PAL Smart SPME Fibers: Optimized for automation
In this product brochure, CTC Analytics showcases the PAL Smart SPME Fibers, each equipped with its own read/write chip with preset parameters, ranges, usage tracking and a unique ID. The new PAL SPME Fibers (PDMS fibers 7 μm, 30 μm, and 100 μm and the polyacrylate fiber) yield identical results when compared with the corresponding commercial SPME Fibers.
PFAS in cosmetics: A comparative analysis of sample preparation techniques for PFAS analysis
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as ‘forever chemicals’, are utilized in the cosmetics industry, added to products such as lipstick and mascara, to improve water resistance and durability. The presence of these compounds in cosmetics is a growing concern for consumers and regulators, but analyzing PFAS chemicals can be complex and difficult.
In this application note, CTC Analytics explores a comparative study that evaluates two sample preparation techniques for the analysis of eight key PFAS in mascara by LC-MS.
GC-MS determination of stale aldehydes in beer by SPME on-fiber derivatization
In this application note from CTC Analytics, learn more about the determination of stale aldehydes in beer such as 2-methyl-propionaldehyde by solid phase microextraction (SPME)/GC-MS. The method explored in this application note is based on the SPME extraction with PFHBA an on-fiber derivatization reagent.
