Investigating the Extraction Efficiency of Dioxins in Several Types of Aqueous Matrices by Automated Solid Phase Extraction Utilizing Disks

This application will focus on SPE extraction techniques, results and recoveries of dioxins in deionized water, particulate-laden river water samples and wastewater. Dioxins are of great environmental concern due to their teratogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic impact. Using the automated 47-mm SPE-disk approach allows for the extraction to take place without the problems such as clogging, filtration or emulsions. Disks combine fast flow rates without compound breakthrough, allowing efficient extraction of particulate laden samples larger than 1 liter with excellent recoveries that result in lower detection limits.
