Abstract: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) can cause long term damage to the environment. Two classes of organic molecules have come to the attention of regulators and water treatment authorities in recent years; iodinated X-Ray contrast media (XCM) and artificial sweeteners (AS). These molecules, by design, have a high degree of stability. Aware of the increased abundance of these molecules in waste water, the IWB Water Laboratory set out to develop a robust, simple method to analyse levels of these molecules in water from the river Rhine, ground water and drinking water.

Working in conjunction with customer, Daimler AG, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an automated in-line matrix elimination technique that simplifies the determination of trace sodium in non-water-miscible liquids such as diesel, biodiesel, and regular petroleum fuels.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an ion chromatography method with suppressed conductivity detection for sensitive determination of inorganic anions and carboxylic acids (fluoride, acetate, formate, mesylate, chloride, nitrate, succinate, malonate, sulfate, and oxalate) in airborne particulate matter (PM2.5).

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a simple, reliable and robust method for detecting dissolved gases in water using a gas chromatograph equipped with an autosampler and an electron flame ionization detector (FID).

Transform your business before it’s transformed for you. This sentence speaks to the hard realities businesses face today. From geopolitical and economic macro trends to global threats to health and
the environment, businesses now face unprecedented—and increasingly more unpredictable—challenges. Without preemptive strategies to combat these headwinds, some businesses risk slowing growth or, even worse, failure.

This application note is great for those using gas chromatography in the packaging industry.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an efficient ion chromatography (IC) method with on-line sample cleanup for the rapid and sensitive determination of p-toluenesulfonic acid in water-insoluble drugs.
