Respond quickly and meet regulations (MRLs) with confident results for the screening, identification, and quantitation of low-level chemical contaminants.
Environmental testing solutions
Environmental testing solutions:
Guiding regulatory decisions to safeguard human and environmental health.
Environmental testing solutions track how chemicals released into the environment affect established ecosystems. As chemicals are produced and released at a rapidly rising rate, regulatory authorities struggle to keep up with monitoring and investigating their effects.
Traditional methods for environmental testing have some drawbacks, including extensive sample preparation protocols, a lack of sensitivity and limits on the number and classes of compounds that can be targeted per analysis. LC-MS/MS environmental testing solutions from SCIEX can help you overcome these challenges.
SCIEX environmental testing solutions can be used to analyze a variety of sample types, such as industrial effluents, agricultural and urban runoff, municipal wastewater, soil, air and landfill leachates. Methods are provided for detecting many common pollutants, from novel chemical species to low-level regulated contaminants, including:
- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and their derivatives
- Residual pesticides or pharmaceuticals
- Microcystins and other toxic aquatic substances
- Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs)
- Phthalates
- Brominated flame retardants
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
- Additional organic pollutants
