Some Further Reading for DiLLME on Tour

Posted on September 3rd, 2019

Post Author: Susan Roach, Marketing Manager

Dates across the country are filling up for our DiLLME tour. Thanks to everyone who’s signed up nice and early. We can’t wait to see you! To anyone who hasn’t, book now.

We’ve been busy using the technique and writing it up for you ahead of October.

First up is this PDF containing four application notes on the technique. It also includes key information about the dates and venues. If you’re already signed up, save it for reference. If you’re undecided, scan through and click any you think might be applicable to your field. We’ll be sure to squeeze you in if you’re interested in coming.

Senior Applications Chemist, Jonathan Dunscombe, has written another application note around work he’s been doing with Thames Water on Pesticides. Here’s an abstract by the man himself to give you an idea of what to expect:

Monitoring the levels of persistent organic pollutants is hugely important within the water industry in helping to ensure that water provided is safe for their customers to drink. Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls are compounds that can persist for many years and cause problems when part of food chains and ecosystems.

Traditional, more well-established methodologies for testing water for organochlorine pesticides require large volumes of sample and solvents, not to mention many hours of analyst’s time to prepare them. These procedures no doubt still have a part to play in the future of water testing but are increasingly being rejected in favour of more cost effective and justifiable techniques.

Water companies are increasingly finding themselves coming under pressure from all angles. Drinking Water Inspectors want robust, repeatable data for ever increasing numbers of compounds. The Environment Agency needs contaminated water to be identified quickly to avoid it going back into drinking sources and OFWAT need prices to remain fair and affordable for the end consumer.

In most markets, if the cost of producing goods goes up, you have the lever of raising prices. This is not true in this industry so savvy labs need to find efficiences in other ways such as: reducing unnecessary wastage, shorter preparation times, reducing costs associated with chemical and consumable usage and increase workflow throughput.

In this application note, Dispersive Liquid-Liquid MicroExtraction was used to extract and analyse a range of water matrices for a suite of 18 chlorinated compounds from just 6 mL of sample. Using a 10 µL large volume injection and Agilent’s 7010 QQQ, limits of quantification far below 10 ng/L were achievable.
