The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has designated 16 PAHs as primary pollutants. The detection and quantification of these compounds, especially in water and soils, is of paramount importance for human health and the environment, due to their toxic and carcinogenic nature.  

Benzo (a) pyrene is classified as a first-class carcinogen.

PAHs extraction from water matrix is a complex, time-consuming manual procedure and need many toxic solvents in Current PAHs analytical method.  

Acchrom-Tech PAHs ( Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) Analyzer is designed for PAHs analysis specially, which is based on HPLC/ high sensitivity FL (fluorescence detector) system combined with Acchrom-Tech special On-line SPE technique. It let analyst assays PAHs compounds in drinking water, especially Benzo(a)pyrene, the highest carcinogenic PAHs compound, automatically, green analysis with direct injection. No need complicated,  high toxic sample pre-treatment  and extraction etc. manual operation. Once inject directly, get result then.

This system can be upgraded to On-line SPE LCMSMS System to analyze trace level organic compounds, including pesticides, anti-bodies, PFAs, PFOs, Biotoxins( Microcystin

Etc.) ,plasticizer, Endocrine disruptors and other PPCPs, emerging contaminants etc. quantitatively.

Key Function and Application 

Safety and Automation

All analysis process, from extraction to separation,to detection, is automatically, no manual interference. The standard solvent it used is ppt level.

It’s special for PAHs analysis in water, soil & atmosphere matrix, but also suitable

for determination of other trace-level organic targeted compounds, especially for those which have fluorescence absorption.

Innovative Inlet for Mass Spectrum

you also can used it as a special inlet for mass spectrum, On-line SPE LCMSMS, to increase it sensitivity to determinate more trace-level compounds in water or body fluid automatically.
