Latest Publications from LCTech

AN0062-PCB209-small

Application note ''Extraction, Clean-Up and Analysis of 209 PCBs using DEXTech Systems'' available

This AppNote demonstrates the extraction, evaporation, clean-up and analysis of all 209 PCBs and PCDD/F from different matrices like fish oil and soil. Thereby utilizing the X-TRACTION® system, the D-EVA system and the automated clean-up systems DEXTech Heat or Pure. This automated approach offers a comprehensive solution for both contaminants, production efficiency and reducing costs in laboratory settings.


extraction of PFAS in soil

Application note "Extraction of PFAS from Soil Using EluCLEAN® PFAS SPE Columns"

This AppNote shows a new single SPE cartridge solution with a polymeric sorbent optimized for PFAS enrichment. The EluCLEAN® PFAS - WAX/GCB SPE column can equivalently replace the dispersing clean-up step and the WAX SPE cartridge used in US EPA 1633 (4th draft). This innovative method saves valuable time and costs.

Aflatoxin analysis of almond and sesame products

Almonds and sesame seeds are very often contaminated with aflatoxins. If they exceed the legal limits, they are withdrawn from the market or not permitted for trading. The AflaCLEAN columns provide an extremely qualitative, robust and sensitive tool for mycotoxin clean-up of foodstuff.
