Principle

LC is a common technique used to separate non-volatile compounds from complex mixtures. This separation is based on the interactions of the molecules with the mobile and stationary phases. 

It is frequently coupled to a wide variety of detectors, such as Ultraviolet-Visible (LC-UV/Vis) and mass spectrometer (LC-MS, LC-MS/MS and LC-IT/MS), that cover a broad range of sensitivity, specificity and selectivity, providing both qualitative and quantitative information.

Capabilities

  • (Ultra) trace analysis of PFAS and fluorosurfactants in polymeric materials.
  •  Determination of PFAS residues in environmental samples (water, air) during monitoring and control procedures.
  •  Qualitative and quantitative analysis of intermediate products. 
  •  Identification of unknown compounds during the development and production of new materials
  •  Identification of fluorosurfactants chemical structure or isotopic composition
  •  Rapid quantitative and conformational screening for unknown structures
