Innovative Automated Microscale Solid Phase Extraction Technology for Online Analysis of Water Samples

This article discusses an innovative automated microscale solid phase extraction (SPE) technology coupled with GC-MS for online analysis of water samples. The study includes details on the LVI-GC conditions, SPE Twin-PAL LVI-GC-MS extraction and collection plates, automated SPE conditions, and the SPE Twin-PAL LVI-GC-MS running sequence. The method's sensitivity, accuracy, and precision are also evaluated through online analysis of treated well water, untreated well water, and tap water samples.
