Frequently asked questions

How long is the analysis time for the PAH mixture?

Good resolution was obtained in a 15-min analysis for each of the PAHs.

What is the minimum concentration range demonstrated for PAH analysis?

The application demonstrates trace-level analyses over a concentration range of 0.05 pg/mL to 5 pg/mL.

How long does the analysis take for each PAH component?

Good resolution was obtained in a 15-min analysis for each of the PAHs.

What is the minimum column loading that still yields excellent linearity?

Excellent linearity was achieved down to a 0.05 ng column loading of each component.
