Agilent B18_PAH analysis. GC columns selection best practices for success Manual
The document addresses the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which form from incomplete combustion of organic fuels like coal, petroleum, and wood. It highlights the regulatory differences between European Union 15+1 and US-EPA lists regarding PAH contamination in food supplies versus environmental sources.
The text focuses on selecting appropriate capillary GC columns for these analytes, comparing non-polar phases (effective for lower boiling compounds) with moderately polar phases (better for heavier EU-listed compounds). It specifically evaluates the Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH and DB-5ms columns for resolving complex mixtures of PAHs.
