Water Quality Testing
Standards & Columns
ISO/DIS 9377-4 describes a gas
chromatography/flame ionization detection
(GC/FID) method to analyze total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPHs) in drinking, surface, waste,
and treated waste water. Previous methods used
Freon
®
extraction, which was harmful to the envi-
ronment. This new method uses less harmful sol-
vents such as pentane, hexane, or cyclohexane for
sample extraction.
Restek now offers mixtures for ISO/DIS 9377-4
analyses. Florisil
®
cleanup to remove polar com-
pounds is accomplished using a 150-250µm
(60/100 mesh) sample preparation column. The
analytical column suggested is either an Rtx
®
-1 or
an Rtx
®
-5 column with dimensions of 10-25m,
0.25-0.53mm ID, and 0.25-1.0µm film thickness.
See highlighted columns in product listing for rec-
ommended dimensions.
