Analysis of volatile organic compounds in drinking water according to US EPA Method 524.4
15 Mar 2024In this application note, Thermo Fisher Scientific demonstrates an analytical method that meets the requirements outlined in US EPA Method 524.4 for the quantitation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water, using the Teledyne Tekmar Atomx XYZ purge and trap (P&T) system along with a Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ 7610 Single Quadrupole MS system coupled with a Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1610 Gas Chromatograph (GC) and Thermo Scientific™ Chromeleon™ Chromatography Data System (CDS). Method linearity, method detection limit (MDL), precision, and accuracy were assessed to evaluate method performance.

Atomx XYZ Automated VOC Sample Prep System
Teledyne LabsTekmar's Atomx Automated Sample Prep System combines an Autosampler and Purge and Trap into a single instrument for the analysis of VOCs in soils and waters. This is the first of its kind and only system that employs a unique methanol extraction automation feature for high level soils in accordance with USEPA Method 5035. Extractasol clean-up step (patent pending) in the Atomx reduces carryover or cross contamination normally associated with high-level water or soil analysis. Three new independent injection systems for internal standards, surrogates, and matrix spikes provide the ability to select variable volumes without generating waste. The Atomx features Tekmar’s proven carousel drive capable of holding 80-vials for optimal throughput therefore reducing downtime. While priced competitively, this system offers unique features that cannot be found on other sample prep systems on the market today.
