Separation Science, in collaboration with Shimadzu, is pleased to present a series of application notes demonstrating recent advances in water analysis. Simply click on the buttons to download your own copy.
A High Sensitivity Method for Quantitative Determination of Ten Phenols in Surface Water on LC/MS/MS with APCI Interface
This application note describes an MRM-based method for detection and quantitation of phenol and nine substituted phenols in reservoir water, without pre-treatment and pre-concentration. Coupled with a pentafluorophenyl column, treated water and reservoir water were analysed on a triple quadrupole LC/MS/MS with an APCI interface. 

Quantitative Analysis of Residual Artificial Sweeteners in Surface Water by Highly Sensitive LC/MS/MS Method
This application note describes an LC/MS/MS method for direct quantitation of artificial sweeteners in surface water and drinking water. Using the triple quadrupole system LCMS-8060 coupled with a biphenyl column, trace levels of artificial sweeteners in surface water could be detected without pre-treatment or enrichment.
 

A Highly Sensitive MRM-Based Method for Detection and Quantitation of Seven
Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in Surface Water
This application note describes a high sensitivity detection method for the detection of
Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in surface water that does not require pre-treatment and concentration of water samples. The method uses a model of triple quadrupole LCMS-8060 system coupled with the Nexera UHPLC; enabling a fast gradient elution program with a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) column.  

High-Sensitivity Analysis of Nonylphenol in River Water Using GC-MS/MS
In this application note, a method using a high selectivity triple quadrupole gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS) to detect for NP in river water is presented. Using this method, it was possible to detect for 13 nonylphenol isomers standard solutions at a concentration of 0.01 µg/mL.
