Capillary Columns

• Optimized conditions cut analysis time in half,

for higher sample throughput.

• Unique selectivity fully resolves complex compound list.

• Meets all method QA requirements, reducing rework.

With the advent of modern agriculture, and its vast selection of chemical pest control measures, the

farming community has made significant increases in productivity and efficiency. Crop yield per acre is

at an all time high, due in part to the role of pesticides and herbicides in mitigating the devastating effects

of many plant and insect pests.' However, the use of these chemicals can have drawbacks, including sur

face and ground water contamination. EPA Methods, such as 508.1, are used to monitor pesticides and

herbicides in drinking and ground water. The opt imized dual column method shown here satisfies all

method requirements in half the analysis time, significantly improving sample throughput.
