Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

PAH compounds can be analyzed using either GC/MS or HPLC with the latter method being more sensitive particularly for the larger molecules. Our group analyzes and separates 15 PAH compounds by a gradient HPLC method with optimized fluorescence detection on the Waters Alliance System. The detection limits for most of the late eluting PAH compounds are at the low ppb level.

For more information on our HPLC Group analytical capabilities contact Teresa Chow at 217-244-8912.
