Rapid Trace Analysis of Multiresidue Contaminants

Mira Petrovic from the Catalan Institute for Water Research (ICRA) in Girona, Spain, reveals the advantages and practical applications of a novel method she developed for the multiresidue trace analysis of pharmaceutical compounds and their corresponding metabolites and transformation products using dual-column liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

Novel Pesticide Extraction Method for River Water Samples

Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, have developed a simple method for the extraction of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from river water samples using magnetoliposomes as adsorbents and gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS).

A Look at Matrix Effects

In the environmental analytical chemistry literature, the topic of matrix interferences and matrix effects has not been addressed in a fundamental way. Here, we examine which methods appear to have a tendency for matrix interference and suggest ways to reduce the problem.
