It's winter in the northern hemisphere. For many that means frozen soil and surface water as well as monitoring wells buried under snow and ice. This translates into a slow period for environmental labs testing wastewater and soil in cold climates.
However, slow doesn't mean idle. This is a great time to update those MDL studies and technical performance evaluations AND a great time to validate new methods!
Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is not the sole province of drinking water labs. Wastewater labs can enjoy the same time and cost savings too. All of the SW-846 methods allow SPE, just reference extraction method 3535 instead of liquid/liquid extraction. Popular SPE methods include 1664, 1668, 8015, 8081,8082, 8141, 8151, 8310, 8323 and 8330.
If you would like to give SPE a try, contact your regional UCT representative, partner or technical support (dshelly@unitedchem.com).
