The removal of interferences and sample concentration are essential steps in trace level detection of pesticides, sheep dips, herbicides and PCBs in river water, wastewaters and trade effluents.
The methods introduced in this application note were developed by the Environment Agency National Laboratory Service facility at Nottingham using the Biotage RapidTrace for automated solid phase extraction and the TurboVap II for evaporation. The procedures are UKAS accredited and can reach detection limits of 0.001 ug/litre for some compounds.
