Meeting the Challenges of EPA 1613b using Gas Chromatography with High Resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

31 May 2012

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans are some of the most toxic materials known. These persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been linked to cancer and adverse reproductive and endocrine effects. This application note shows that the performance of the LECO Pegasus® GC-HRT meets or exceeds the requirements for dioxin analysis per the US EPA 1613b Protocol.

Pegasus® GC-HRT

LECO Corp.

While some systems on the market offer users a choice between acquisition speed or resolution, the Pegasus GC-HRT provides scientists with an unprecedented combination of speed, resolution, mass accuracy, isotopic abundance, and dynamic range. This instrumentation utilizes LECO's own Folded Flight Path™ (FFP™) technology to allow users to achieve resolutions of up to 50,000. LECO's exclusive ChromaTOF-HRT™ software with Automated Peak Find and True Signal Deconvolution® provides seamless data handling and compatibility with the NIST Library.
