Rapid analysis of 24 regulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on a Zebron™ ZB-PAH-EU GC Column

Phenomenex Inc
5 Apr 2021

In this application note, Phenomenex outlines how the Zebron ZB-PAH-EU GC column can be used to resolve all 24 EU 15+1 and EPA 610 regulated PAHs in under 16 minutes, including the benzofluoranthene isomers which are difficult to separate.

Zebron ZB-PAH-EU & Zebron ZB-PAH-CT

Phenomenex Inc

Zebron™ ZB-PAH-EU and ZB-PAH-CT columns are designed to move conventional PAH testing to the exceptional, Zebron™ GC columns come to life through a coupling of innovative spirit and technical excellence. The Zebron ZB-PAH-EU and ZB-PAH-CT offer unparalleled performance through the power of targeted selectivity when analyzing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Zebron™ ZB-PAH-EU features: Up to 70 % Faster PAH Analysis Elevated Temperature Stability (340/360°C) Great Resolution of Critical Isomers, e.g. Benzo(b,j,k)fluroranthene Zebron™ ZB-PAH-CT features: Enhanced Resolution for Chrysene and Triphenylene (PAH Interferences) Increased Benzo[b,k] fluoranthene Separation Optimal Performance and Resolution of Regulated PAH Isomers Great Resolution of Critical Isomers, e.g. Benzo(b,j,k)fluroranthene

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.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis. Find the best GC-MS instruments and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.PAHsEnvironmental 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.Environmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and analyze gases or volatile liquids in a sample. It is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science. GC is ideal for identifying and quantifying compounds that are gaseous or can be vaporized without decomposition.
