| HYDROCARBONS |
- Full hydrocarbon capabilities.
- TPH results include qualitative description of chromatographic patterns.
- Flexibility to analyze target lists or sum carbon ranges that are different from our routine templates.
- Ability to achieve state mandated sensitivities for TPH(d/mo) water matrix using 40ml VOAs
- Ability to perform EPA 5035 ("Encore") analyses for volatile hydrocarbons.
- Availability of both 'in-a-vial' and 'column-style' silica gel clean up, with QC.
- Ability to analyze extractable aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons per TPHCWG and MADEP specifications. Proven ability to separate C6-C35 (benzene to PAH) aromatics from C6-C35 aliphatics.
- Ability to quantitatively distinguish 'petroleum' from 'animal / vegetable' (non-petroleum) O&G by the use of 418.1 without silica gel clean up followed by repeated silica gel clean ups to a constant TRPH value. Quantitative confirmation available using IR spectroscopy or derivitization followed by FAME analysis.
- Ability to analyze extractable aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons per TPHCWG and MA DEP specifications. Proven ability to separate C6-C34 (benzene to PAH) aromatics from C6-C34 aliphatics.
- Drinking water, fresh & marine surface & ground water, effluent, storm water run off, waste water, soils, sludge, solids, petroleum liquids, plant & animal tissue, food, wine and other matrices can be tested.
