Specificfluorochemicaclharacterizatiobny liquidchromatography / tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) was requestedforallsamples. A totaolf8 samples were receivedforanalysis.
The samples were prepared and analyzed by LC/MS/MS forthefollowinglisotf fluorochemicals:

4.1 LC/MS/MS
4.1.1 Sample PreparationforLC/MSIMS Analysis
Samples were initiatlrleyatedwith200 uL of250 mg/L sodium thiosuffatseolutiotno remove residualchlorineS.olid phase extractio(nSPE) was used to prepare the samples for LC/MS/MS analysis.A forty-milliploirtteironof sample was transferretdoa C,8 SPE cartridge. The cartridgweas firsetlutedwith5 mL of40% methanol inwater solution.The eluatewas discardedand the SPE column was then elutedwith 100% methanol. A 5 ml portionof methanol was collectedforanalysisby LC/MS/MS. This treatmentresultedinan eight-fold concentratioonfthe samples priortoanalysis.
4.1.2 Sample Analysis by LC/MSIMS
