This application note describes a method for analyzing all 136 tetra- through octa- polychlorinated dibenzo-p- dioxins and dibenzofurans using an Agilent J&W FactorFour VF-Xms GC column. This method does not require a second column and allows separation of 16 out of 17 2378-substituted dioxins and furans from other close-eluted isomers.
This document presents data on the elution order of all 136 tetra- through octa- polychlorinated dioxins and furans using a high Si-arylene modified liquid phase column, the VF-Xms. The study demonstrates that this single column provides superior performance for separating these compounds compared to traditional dual column approaches.
| Column Dimensions | 60 m x 0.25 mm, df=0.25 um |

The analysis covers all 136 tetra- through octa- polychlorinated dioxins and furans.
No, the VF-Xms column allows for the separation of 16 out of 17 2378-substituted dioxins and furans without needing a second column.
