Thermo Scientific Releases Determination of Pentachlorophenol Solution
Petachlorophenol (PCP) is a widely used, highly toxic, highly polluting compound, as an anticorrosion, mildew, mothproof agent used in dyes, textiles, leather and other industries
.
It will endanger human health by producing bioaccumulation in the human body through the skin, and is teratogenic and carcinogenic
.
In addition, pentachlorophenol is very stable, has a long natural degradation process, and is harmful to
the environment.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has released a solution for the determination of pentachlorophenol, which uses the Thermo ScientificTM TRACETM 1310 gas chromatography and the Thermo ScientificTM ISQTM series quadrupole GC-MS system to achieve significant improvements
in detection efficiency and accuracy.

The company released a new large-volume injection technology, Concurrent Solvent Recondensation
。 By connecting a pre-column between the liner and the analytical column, in which the liner can retain the high boiling point interference matrix so that it does not enter the column system, and the pre-column can carry all the solvent and targets injected in a large volume, and then slowly evaporate the solvent through the column to the detector and vent, the target with a slightly higher boiling point than the solvent reaches the detector after the solvent to be detected, thus ensuring that all boiling range of the target components are separated by the column to the detector, so high detection sensitivity
can be guaranteed.
