Method US EPA 1613 B : PCDD/Fs in solids, waste waters and sediments
Method US EPA 23 : PCDD/Fs in stack emissions
Method EN1948 : European method for PCDD/Fs and PCBs in stack emissions
Method 1668A : PCBs in water, soil sediment and tissue
ISOTOPE DILUTION : 13C12 PCDD/F and PCB internal standards
High Resolution Gas Chromatography / High Resolution Mass Spectrometry
HRGC / HRMS
SEVERAL DAYS OF SAMPLE PREPARATION
¾ Extraction (Soxhlet, Dionex ASE)
¾ Solvent concentration
¾ Successive clean-up steps (Silica, Florisil, Alumina, Activated Carbon)
¾ Data processing

Supelco Dioxin Prep System
Collaboration Corus / Hall Analytical / Supelco
2002 :
Development and validation of the Dioxin
Prep System – Dual Carbon Column Version
in Japan for fast determinations of PCDD/Fs.
(Japan Quality Assurance Organisation and
Kawajyu Techno Service)
2003 :
Evaluation of the Dioxin Prep System – Dual
Carbon Column Version by Corus and Hall
Analytical prior to its UK commercial launch.
2004 :
A collaboration agreement is signed by
Corus, Hall and Supelco to develop and
validate an enhanced version of the Dioxin
Prep System.
2005 :
