This document describes the analysis of chlorinated compounds in linseed oil, as well as the uses and characteristics of linseed oil.
This document details an analytical method for detecting contamination in linseed oil, a nutritional supplement. It highlights the use of Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) with Agilent EcoSpheres microporous media to clean up complex food samples and isolate contaminants like pesticide residues. The text explains that EcoSpheres are loose microporous materials that swell in solvents to create pores for size-based separation.
| Column dimensions | 450 x 25 mm |
|---|---|
| Media mass | 100 g |
| Flow Rate | 5 mL/min |
| Detection wavelength | 254 nm |
| Analysis time | within 24 min |
EcoSpheres are used for the economic, low pressure separation of small molecules like pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons from high molecular weight organic matrices.
The loose microporous material is ready for swelling in common organic solvents and gravity packing into glass columns.
