ChloroFiltr®: A Novel Sorbent for Chlorophyll Removal Using QuEChERS
Xiaoyan Wang, UCT, Inc.
Spinach and other highly pigmented vegetables contain chlorophylls, carotenoids, xanthophylls, and anthocyanin, which are frequently coextracted with pesticides. This application describes the use of a unique sorbent, ChloroFiltr®, for extracting pesticides, including planar pesticides, while reducing chlorophyll in sample extracts. Samples were analysed by LC–MS-MS with excellent pesticide recoveries.

Determination of Carbonyl Compounds in Water by Dinitrophenylhydrazine Derivatization and HPLC-UV
Don Shelly, UCT, Inc.
This application describes a method for the determination of free carbonyl compounds and aldehydes in water. A measured volume of sample is buffered to pH 3 and derivatized at 40 °C for 1 h using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The derivatives are extracted by SPE with 2000 mg of C18, eluted with ethanol and detected by HPLC.

Extraction and Determination of Acids, Bases, and Neutrals in Water Using Mixed-Mode Solid-Phase Extraction
Xiaoyan Wang, UCT, Inc.
A reliable, efficient method has been developed for EPA Method 8270 using a novel SPE sorbent with GC–MS detection. A wide range of 138 analytes including acids, bases, and neutrals, and very polar compounds can be analyzed using this method. This method eliminates the consumption of large quantities of solvent and multiple extractions at differing pH values.
