Determination of Benzo(a)pyrene in Sausage and Preserved Ham

This application note provides a sensitive and rapid HPLC method with on-line SPE and fluorescence detection for the determination of benzo(a)pyrene in sausage and preserved ham. This method reduces costs associated with the SPE cartridge, labor, time, and reagents; and results are more consistent because the cleanup step is performed by on-line SPE rather than manual off-line SPE.
