Agilent PBDE Analysis by GC-ICP-MS Technical Feature Manual
This document describes a technical application using Gas Chromatography combined with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (GC-ICP-MS) to analyze Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs). The text highlights the advantages of this method, including high sensitivity for poorly ionized elements like halogens and absolute selectivity between different halogens without interference from fluorine, chlorine, or iodine.
The specific experimental setup detailed involves an Agilent 6890 GC connected to an Agilent 7500a ICP-MS via the Agilent GC-ICP-MS interface. The document discusses the system's ability to detect low levels of PBDEs in complex matrices, such as commercial PCB standards, and mentions features like Compound Independent Calibration (CIC) for quantifying compounds where standards are unavailable.
