Orbitrap Exploris GC mass spectrometer analysis of PCDD/F

Explore the optimization and performance of the Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Exploris™ GC mass spectrometer for the trace analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/F) using high-resolution accurate-mass spectrometry.

PCDD/F, highly toxic compounds formed unintentionally during industrial processes, pose a longstanding global threat. Despite bans, exposure persists. Soil contamination is a primary pathway into the food chain, necessitating robust analysis methods. Gas chromatography-magnetic sector mass spectrometry is the standard, but newer technologies like the Orbitrap Exploris GC offer higher resolution and flexibility for identifying risks through analysis in soil samples at current maximum allowable limits.
