Optimized GC/MS analysis for PAHs in challenging matrices using the Agilent 5977 Series GC/MSD

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic to aquatic life and are suspected human carcinogens. Discover how the Agilent 8890 GC combined with an Agilent 5977 Series MSD system provides a precise and robust means of analyzing PAHs in difficult matrices, using proper instrument configuration and operating conditions. Explore how mid-column backflushing, continuous hydrogen source cleaning (JetClean), and use of an alternative draw-out lens result in excellent linearity across a calibration range of 1 to 1,000 pg.
