Fast Analysis of EU-EPA PAH Using NSP-PAH Columns

 

Nano Stationary Phase (NSPTM) GC Columns

 

The NSP-PAH columns are specifically developed for fast analysis and complete separation of EU and EPA priority PAHs.  The columns are highly stable with a maximum operating temperature limit (MOTL) of 360oC and unmatched selectivity when compared to conventional stationary phase columns.

They show ultra low bleed at retention times of heavier PAH. All specified PAH elute below 320oC due to short column lengths. Due to high temperature stability, these columns can be used in oven temperature isothermal or program modes up to 360oC.

All critical components specified in both EU and USEPA methods are separated to comply with the monitoring regulations. As shown in the chromatogram, specifically, Phenanthrene is separated from Anthracene; Benzo(a)anthracene is separated from Chrysene; Benzo[b], Benzo[k], and Benzo[j] fluoranthene isomers are separated from each other; Benzo[a]pyrene is separated from Benzo[e]pyrene, and Perylene; Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene and Benzo[ghi]perylene are separated from each other; also, Dibenzo(a,l) pyrene, Dibenzo(a,e)pyrene, Dibenzo(a,i)pyrene, and  Dibenzo(a,h)pyrene are completely separated from each other. Separation of the 25 component PAH mixture of both EPA Method-610 and EU protocol PAH  (except Cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene and 5-Methylchrysene) are demonstrated on conventional internal diameters (I.D.) of 0.18 mm and microbore columns (with I.D. 0.15 mm and 0.10 mm) of lengths less than 12 meters.

 

To achieve your goals of fast PAH analysis, superb selectivity, improved column lifetime or increased laboratory productivity, NSP-PAH column is your best choice. Please select NSP-PAH columns of the right dimensions for your appropriate instrumentation to meet your PAH analysis goals. Short columns of lengths 12 meter and internal diameters of 0.18 mm, 0.15 mm and 0.10 mm are adequate to achieve complete separation of EU and EPA priority PAH due to the superb selectivity of nano stationary phase.
