In addition, baseline resolution is achieved for critical pairs benz[a]anthracene and cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene, cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene and chrysene, and indeno[,,-cd]pyrene and dibenz[a,h]anthracene. This application demonstrates that the DB-EUPAH column can provide excellent sensitivity and selectivity for the analysis of EU regulated PAHs.

The column shown above was chosen to maximize inertness and robustness to residues with a thicker 0. µm film, but the price paid is a slightly longer run time. An HP-ms, 0 m x 0. mm id, 0. µm, P/N 0S- would give shorter run times, with slightly less inertness and robustness. A DB-ms, 0 m x 0. mm id, 0. µm, P/N -, would give slightly less inertness, but offer better resolution of PAHs such as Benzo[b]fluoranthene and Benzo[k]fluoranthene. A DB-ms, 0 m x 0. mm x 0. µm, P/N -, can offer significantly reduced run times with a modest loss of inertness.
