ABSTRACT
USEPA Method 8270 has been used to analyze a variety of complex sample matrices using full scan GC/MS. The method also allows selected ion monitoring (SIM), for significantly lower detection limits. Mixed mode scan methods, such as SIM/Scan, have the benefits of lowering detection limits and simultaneously providing full scan data for library search confirmation.
Lower detection limits require a very inert pathway from the injection point to the ion source. In addition, the ability to easily manage large numbers of SIMs with full scan in mixed mode for acquisition and data handling is critical for efficient method set up and workflow in the laboratory.
The Bruker SCION SQ GC/MS has an inert ion source with revolutionary ion optics for robust operation and can obtain part-per-billion sensitivity even in full scan analysis. In addition, software known as Compound Based Scanning (CBS) makes it easier than ever before to set up, optimize, and maintain complex mixed mode methods. Additional tools such as tune-to-target and custom EPA reporting templates round out a complete solution for USEPA Method 8270.
