A Rapid and Reliable Method for Chlorinated Pesticides Kory Kelly, Phenomenex A rapid analysis of chlorinated pesticides (EPA Method 8081) is presented in under 10 min, delivering shorter cycle times and improved lab productivity.  Baseline separation of all analytes is achieved.   Increased Pesticide Recoveries with Automated Extraction from Water Kali Tudela, Phenomenex and David Gallagher and Michael Ebitson, Horizon Technology, Inc. A method using automated extraction followed by GC has been developed to improve throughput and recoveries of pesticides in EPA Method 508.1.   LC–MS-MS and GC–MS Analysis of Triazine Herbicides Kory Kelly and Kali Tudela, Phenomenex Two methods are presented for triazine herbicides analysis in drinking water (EPA Method 536) and wastewater (EPA Method 619) exhibiting resolution and sensitivity improvements as well as time savings. Leveraging High-Tempreature Gas Chromatography for DRO Analysis Kali Tudela and Kory Kelly, Phenomenex Considerations should be taken to ensure reproducible results over repeated injections of heavy compounds. This technical note discusses advantages of using a GC column stable to 430 °C when analyzing DROs. Improved Extraction and GC Analysis of Haloacetic Acids Shahana Huq, Matthew Trass, and Erica Pike, Phenomenex Haloacetic acids (EPA Method 552.1) are effectively extracted and concentrated from water using a high-capacity polymeric strong anion exchange SPE sorbent, providing benefits including dryout resistance and reduced solvent consumption.
