一種精密的系統專門設計用于監測飲用水中痕量的殺蟲劑、激素、抗生素、藥品以及獸用藥品。

Thermo Electron公司的(Waltham, MA, USA)Equan顯著減少了樣品分析時間，允許樣品直接注射、富集，并通過即時液體色譜質量分光光度計(LC-MS/MS)進行分析。檢測界限(LODs)比傳統注射技術的檢測界限10ppt(parts per trillion)高了100多倍。這種新型解決方案在2006年8月日本神戶舉行的第11屆純粹和應用化學(IUPAC)殺蟲劑化學國際大會上進行了展示。

 
System Monitors Pollutants in Drinking Water
 
A comprehensive system has been specifically developed to monitor trace levels of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products in drinking water.

Thermo Electron’s (Waltham, MA, USA) Equan significantly reduces sample analysis time as it allows samples to be directly injected and enriched followed by immediate liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Limits of detection (LODs) are up to a 100 times better than conventional injection techniques with detection limits of 10 ppt (parts per trillion) easily achieved. This novel solution was showcased at the 11th International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry, in August 2006 in Kobe (Japan).
