The European Water Framework Directive sets extremely low limits for artificially produced hormone preparations. This makes this analysis a difficult task, especially in real samples. With the Shimadzu Triplequadrupol systems of liquid or gas chromatography this trace analysis can also be realized in matrix samples. With the LCMS-8060, the detection limit for ethinylestradiol (EE2) required by the EU WFD has been successfully achieved. In surface water samples 30pg/l can be quantified reliably. In matrix samples, gas chromatography has the advantage of a larger number of separation stages compared to liquid chromatography, thus allowing the slightest traces of EE2 to be reliably quantified. A detection limit of 10pg/l doped in a Rhine water sample can be realized.

Speaker: Dr. Ruth Marfil-Vega
Environmental Marketing Manager Shimadzu Scientific Instruments




Dr. Ruth Marfil-Vega recently joined Shimadzu as the Environmental Marketing Manager. Ruth brings over fifteen years of experience leading research to solve water quality issues. She established and led the team focused on Emerging Contaminants at American Water (the largest publicly traded water utility in the US), managing and overseeing projects focused on the assessment and removal of regulated and unregulated contaminants (e.g. PFAS, nitrosamines, DBPs, cyanotoxins, taste and odor compounds, pharmaceuticals) by conventional and advanced treatment technologies in drinking water, wastewater, and water reuse. She was an ORISE postdoctoral fellow at the US EPA Office of Research and Development. She received a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Cincinnati and a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Valladolid (Spain.)

Ultra-fast LC-MS/MS Analysis of PFAS in Environmental Samples          
Download PDF (1,23 MB)

There is increasing concern about the persistence and effects of Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) in the environment.
This white paper summarizes the state-of-the-art analytical methods for monitoring PFAS and demonstrates the use, speed and performance of Shimadzu Ultra-fast Mass Spectrometry (UFMS) for PFAS analysis in environmental waters.
