Beyond dioxins - Obtaining accurate compound identification in environmental samples with GC Orbitrap MS
In this presentation hear from Dr. Kjell Hope from Pacific Rim Labs on their approach to non-targeted screening and quantitation using GC Orbitrap MS. Environmental samples were extracted with the aim of preserving sample integrity whilst sufficiently cleaning the sample of background matrix. Extract analysis was performed using high-resolution accurate mass GC Orbitrap MS in full scan mode at 60,000 resolution. Analysis in full scan (untargeted) allows for a complete chemical profile to be collected from the sample. This data was then processed to screen for an unlimited number of compounds, thereby increasing scope of analysis beyond what is possible using targeted methods such as GC-MS/MS or GC Magnetic Sector instrumentation. In this study, samples were processed and compared using Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer Software to identify features of interest. These suspect features were then screened against NIST 2023 and a high-resolution accurate mass environmental contaminants library. The complete workflow, which aims for fast and accurate compound identification, will be discussed.

Kjell Hope, Technical research chemist, Pacific Rim Laboratories
Which system do I need for dioxin analysis: GC Magnetic Sector MS, GC-MS/MS or GC Orbitrap MS?
For Dioxins and POPs analysis, the DFS Magnetic Sector GC-HRMS System has long been recognized as the instrumentation for meeting worldwide regulations and compliance. However, techniques such as GC-MS/MS or GC Orbitrap MS provide alternative instrumental approaches to this challenging application. As laboratories strive for high throughput, increased scope of analysis, and reduced cost of ownership, it is important to consider the merits and limitations of all three approaches for various sample types and performance criteria. Join our application specialists as they discuss, with real-world data examples, the advantages of each technique in meeting regulatory criteria.

DFS Magnetic Sector GC-HRMS
Reasons and technical background why the Thermo Scientific DFS Magnetic Sector GC-HRMS is the gold standard for performing Dioxin and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) analysis.
NeverVent Technology
NeverVent technology maximizes GC-MS instrument productivity and eliminates unwanted instrument downtime. Equipped across the entire portfolio of GC-MS instrumentation, routine maintenance is easily achieved without venting the mass spectrometer. Column exchange and ion source removal can be performed while maintaining instrument vacuum. The combination of our Advanced Electron Ionization (AEI) source and NeverVent technology will be demonstrated in recent applications including POPs and pesticide analysis showing sensitivity with robust instrument uptime.
Orbitrap Exploris GC
Since its launch in 2015, Orbitrap Exploris GC has enabled scientists across all applications to gain a deeper understanding of their samples. With the current Orbitrap Exploris GC series at a mass resolving power of up to 240,000, this provides unprecedented analytical performance for confident identification and quantitation of compounds in complex matrices. In this short introduction hear from our applications specialist who will introduce the key hardware features and the performance it delivers in environmental applications.
HeSaver-H2Safer
The Thermo Scientific HeSaver-H2Saver SSL injection module provides laboratories the same robustness and performance of the standard SSL injection, but with the added benefit of drastically reducing carrier gas consumption during analysis. An overview of this gas saving technology and its application towards of Dioxins and pesticides in various environmental matrices will be discussed as well as performance when using alternative carrier gases (i.e., hydrogen).

Breaking Down POPs & PFAS : Sample to Solution looking at sample preparation and PFAS analysis, specifically untargeted analysis
New advancements have been made which allows for a more efficient and controlled extraction of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), using parallel gas assisted accelerated solvent extraction, in-line cleanup and automated solvent concentration in the same platform. We present here performance data from soil samples for different POPs. Unlike traditional methods such as liquid-solvent extraction followed by N2 stream evaporation, the fully automated solvent extraction, in-line cleanup and evaporation system saves time, solvent, and labor, while ensuring high reproducibility and productivity for analytical testing.
One of the main emerging POPs of concern is PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and the vast amount and variety of PFAS compounds having different chemical properties creates analysis challenges and opportunities to apply multiple techniques like GC- and LC-MS for the analysis. To screen and/or quantitate the relevant PFAS compounds appropriate sample preparation, chromatography and instrument settings, and experiments are required due to the nature of different matrices. We will present how to analyze large number of compounds utilizing full scan with high resolution and has the advantage to be able to review data retrospectively.
