Best_Buchi_51_PAH_V6_low.pdf

The Extraction System B-811 and the Syncore Analyst parallel concentrator from Buchi as well as the Pressurized Solvent Extractor from Applied Separations were evaluated for the pretreatment of samples containing PAHs. Recoveries of extraction and subsequent concentration using acetone+n-hexane (1+1) were 70-95% for 2 ring and 90-100% for the less volatile 3-5 ring PAHs. A good precision (95% confidence level) of less than 6%, naphtalene excluded (12%), was found. No significant difference was observed between the two extraction methods.

We are presenting the use of Büchi’s Extraction Unit B-811 for isolating polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) from solid environmental samples (soil, grass) under standard conditions and by means of hot extraction. The extracts received will be further processed by means of an internationally recognized method [1] and analyzed with high-resolution GC/MS in the single-ion monitoring (SIM) mode

Metalworking fluid aerosols, largely used in the Swiss watch making industry, are known to cause various respiratory ailments such as e.g. bronchitis and asthma. There are various techniques available to determine the concentration of airborne oil mists. The Syncore® Polyvap was scrutinized with respect to reliability and reproducibility in an interlaboraty comparison with five independent analytical Swiss laboratories using four different methodologies yielding excellent results and time savings compared to conventional evaporation methods.
