Reduced sample volume extractions for US EPA Method 608.3

By Biotage

Pesticides, including insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, are used extensively to increase agricultural yield. It is important to monitor organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) not just in drinking water (US EPA Method 508), but also in wastewater (US EPA Method 608.3). These wastewater samples can be heavily laden with particulates and sludge, making it difficult to extract an entire liter. This work provides a solution for extracting 100 mL of 608.3 wastewater samples utilizing the Biotage® Horizon 5000, DryDisk® and the TurboVap® II.
