What are the techniques other than LC-MS for analysis of surfactants? - WKB193751

ENVIRONMENT

• Surfactant analysis
• Atmospheric solids analysis probe (ASAP)
• Mass spectrometry (MS)
• Flow injection analysis (FIA)
• UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC²)
• Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD)
• Liquid Chromatography (LC)
• ZMD Mass Detector
• SQD
• PDA
• ACQUITY
• Xevo TQD
• 2420 ELSD

ANSWER

The techniques other than LC/MS published by Waters include the following:

• ASAP/MS (Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe with Mass Spectrometry)
• FIA/MS (Flow Injection Analysis with Mass Spectrometry) (No LC; sample is injected directly into the Mass Spec)
• UPC2/MS/UV (UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry and Ultraviolet Detection)
• LC/ELSD (Liquid Chromatography with Evaporative Light Scattering Detection)
