Comprehensive profiling of environmental contaminants in surface water using high-resolution GC/Q-TOF

The use of accurate mass high-resolution MS (HRMS) techniques to characterize known and unknown pollutants in a sample is gaining in popularity. However, several environmental contaminants are low molecular weight, volatile, or nonpolar, making them much more amenable to analysis by GC rather than LC.

In this application note, Agilent Technologies demonstrate a workflow using an accurate mass high-resolution GC/Q-TOF for profiling environmental contaminants in samples of interest.
