SupelMIP™ Triazine10

- A class selective SPE sorbent for extraction of Triazines and Triazine metabolites from water, soil and food products.

Background

Triazines represent a class of herbicides used in agricultural settings to control weeds, plants and broadleaf. Atrazine, simazine and propazine are three of the more common examples of triazines, having the general structure shown below. Despite their widespread use, they are known to be harmful to animals and humans. Because of such health concerns herbicides (and pesticides) are strictly regulated in the European Union. The use of triazines is forbidden in most European countries, including Sweden. The European Legislation allows a maximum of 0.1 µg/l in drinking water. The US EPA has also set limits on the amounts of atrazine allowed in public drinking water supplies, food and animal feed. The ability to detect triazines is obviously a global issue of importance and a satisfactory analytical method for these compounds is in great demand.

Features and applications

SupelMIP™ Triazine10 allows fast and robust extraction of Triazines and Triazine metabolite at low detection levels (ppb) from industrial wastewater, environmental samples of drinking and river water, as well as from food samples. SupelMIP™ Triazine10 shows excellent selectivity towards the following triazines and triazine metabolites: atrazine, simazine, propazine, cyanazine, sebutylazine, deisopropylatrazine, deethylatrazine, deethylterbutylazine, prometon and hydroxyterbutylazine.

The analysis and extraction of triazines and triazine metabolites from water, with high recoveries even when present at very low levels (ppb), are characteristics of the new SupelMIP™ Triazine10 The recoveries are reproducible and in the range 80-95%. Due to the excellent selectivity of the SupelMIP™ Triazine10 less ‘chemical noise’ is obtained compared to conventional extraction methods, resulting in lower detection limits in GCMS or LCMS analysis. This also facilitates reduced sample volumes, quicker analysis times and a more cost effective extraction method. The SupelMIP™ Triazine10 is available in a wide selection of column formats including columns for automated solid-phase extraction systems
