Descripción
Nota de análisis
Sample pretreatment: Place 5 g ground hamburger sample into 50 mL centrifuge tube (55248-U). Spike with 100 ng/g target PAHs and internal standards. Let sit 10 min. Add 5 mL water and homogenize.
This application demonstrates the use of dispersive SPE or QuEChERS for the extraction and cleanup of grilled hamburger for GC-MS analysis of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Z-Sep sorbent was used in the cleanup step and found to reduce background and yield recoveries >80% for a majority of the PAHs tested.
