This application note describes the interference-free analysis of 16 PAHs listed in EPA 610 using the J&W Select PAH GC column.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds formed during incomplete combustion or pyrolysis that require difficult separation due to isomers with the same mass. This document details an optimized method for resolving 16 specific PAHs listed in EPA 610.
All 16 EPA PAHs are resolved in a single run with a runtime of less than 13 min.
The Select PAH column used for this analysis is 30 m x 0.25 mm.
