Introduction
Effluent wastewater testing is essential for protecting human health and the environment, and EPA Method 624.1 is a widely used approach for monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water. This application note demonstrates how the combination of the Teledyne LABS Tekmar Lumin Purge & Trap (P&T) concentrator, AQUATek LVA autosampler, and PerkinElmer GCMS 2400 platform delivers accurate, reliable, and highly sensitive VOC analysis while effectively managing water vapor transfer that can compromise GC/MS performance.
Key Takeaways:
- Meets and exceeds EPA Method 624.1 performance requirements for the analysis of VOCs in effluent wastewater, supporting regulatory compliance and environmental monitoring.
- Advanced moisture control minimizes water entering the GC-MS system, reducing component quenching and improving analytical reliability and sensitivity.
- Delivers excellent analytical performance, including strong calibration linearity, low method detection limits, and high precision across a broad range of priority VOCs
Read this application note to learn how a modern GC/MS and Purge & Trap workflow can help environmental laboratories achieve fast, compliant, and dependable VOC analysis in wastewater samples while maximizing instrument uptime and confidence in results.
