Analysis of volatile organic compounds in drinking water according to US EPA Method 524.4

In this application note, Thermo Fisher Scientific demonstrates an analytical method that meets the requirements outlined in US EPA Method 524.4 for the quantitation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water, using the Teledyne Tekmar Atomx XYZ purge and trap (P&T) system along with a Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ 7610 Single Quadrupole MS system coupled with a Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1610 Gas Chromatograph (GC) and Thermo Scientific™ Chromeleon™ Chromatography Data System (CDS). Method linearity, method detection limit (MDL), precision, and accuracy were assessed to evaluate method performance.
