This study uses two types of discharge compounds (an insecticide and a pulp mill condensate) to illustrate the LC/Q-TOF sensitivity, linear range, quantitative, and qualitative analysis functionalities.
This document illustrates the capabilities of Liquid Chromatography/Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (LC/Q-TOF) mass spectrometry by analyzing two types of discharge compounds: an insecticide, imidacloprid, and a pulp mill condensate containing manool. The study highlights how Q-TOF technology provides accurate mass measurement and quantitation for routine analysis of target compounds that are difficult to analyze by other methods like GC/MS.
The mass accuracy was 1.76 ppm.
The flow rate was set to 0.5 mL/min.
Three injections were performed for each level.
