Compliance and Workflows: European Water Framework Directive
Compliance and Workflows: European Water Framework Directive
19 May 2016Many chemicals produced by human industrial activities have a negative impact on the aquatic environment, even at extremely low concentrations. To measure such an effect, many environmental chemists aim to develop analytical methodologies that can identify a substance at the intended Environmental Quality Standard (EQS) level in complex environmental matrices, including biota. For this reason, the directive 2013/39/EU introduced in August 2013 provides a strategy to monitor pollution of water and biota for European Union member states. This strategy involves the identification of priority substances that pose a significant risk to the aquatic environment. This guide provides an overview of the different compounds to be monitored as well as potential analysis methods.

Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC Orbitrap™ GC-MS/MS System
Thermo Fisher ScientificThe Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC system is the first-ever combination of high resolution gas chromatography with high-resolution/accurate-mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap detection for the most comprehensive sample characterization. This easy-to-use system provides the most comprehensive characterization of samples in a single analysis for the highest confidence in compound discovery, identification, and quantitation. Building upon the flexible modularity of the Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1300 Series GC, including user-exchangeable injectors and detectors, the Q Exactive GC system has the quantitative power of a GC triple quadrupole MS combined with the high precision, full scan high-resolution/accurate-mass capability that only Orbitrap technology can offer. Key Features: Advanced quadrupole technology (AQT) for high transmission of selected masses Resolving power up to 120,000 at m/z 200 Part-per-trillion-level sensitivity Thermo Scientific™ Extractabrite™ ion source for robust, rugged electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) performance Curved linear C-trap for precise ion injection HCD collision cell for higher energy collisional dissociation provides MS/MS ion characterization Intelligent identification software elucidates the nature of each injected sample. Applications: Untargeted and targeted metabolomics Food and beverage Industrial analyses Environmental Pharmaceutical Clinical and toxicology
