Contaminants of emerging concern
Discover the power of SCIEX mass spectrometry solutions for analyzing contaminants of emerging concern
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) encompass a diverse array of chemical compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, sunscreens, perfluorinated compounds and nanomaterials that are found in various environmental matrices, ranging from groundwater to food sources. Although they currently lack regulatory standards, CECs might be candidates for future regulation, depending on their potential ecological and health impacts. CECs therefore demand thorough investigation by environmental research institutes.
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) can be used as a powerful tool for comprehensive CEC analysis. With SCIEX mass spectrometry solutions, you can:
- Monitor multiple compound classes on a single instrument
- Simplify sample preparation with highly sensitive detection
- Ensure robust results are unaffected by matrix interferences
- Expedite data analysis with comprehensive software solutions
