Abstract:
A disk-type solid-phase extraction method for simultaneous extraction of a wide range of semi-volatile organic compounds in water samples was developed. The developed method could extract 186 out of 202 model compounds from spiked environmental samples (0.1 μg/L) with 94% average recovery (50-111%). Compared with the previous cartridge-type method, the extraction time was reduced to approximately 1/6. Applying the combination of the developed method and the database system to environmental samples for non-target analyses, 39 micro-pollutants with a wide range of physicochemical properties were determined.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
Gas Chromatography: Introduction
In GC, a sample is vaporized and mixed with an inert carrier gas (the mobile phase), which transports it through a column.
