The results obtained with QP-5000 (LRMS) show good coincidence with measurements on a high resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS). Investigations of the elution profiles of PCDD/Fs on the polar SP-2331 and on the nonpolar DB-5ms capillary column reveal clear advantages of the DB-5ms phase concerning detection limits and time saving.enGC/LRMSPCDD/PCDF analysisGC columns664688The Use of Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry in Routine Dioxin Analysis under Consideration of Different Types of GC Columnsconference paper
