Wastewater and Recycled Water
Shimadzu offers the most comprehensive portfolio of solutions (TOC, IC, HPLC, GC, GCMS, LCMS, AA, ICP, ICP-MS, FTIR, Raman…) for the analysis of regulated and emerging contaminants (TOC, anions, disinfection byproducts, VOCs, SVOCs, metals, PFAS, microplastics, 6PPD-quinone…) in wastewater and recycled water. Shimadzu has a solution for you to use in the lab or online, whether your laboratory is interested in compliance analysis using EPA methods or other standardization organizations (e.g., ASTM), or if you want to support the evaluation of newer treatment technologies that are being piloted and implemented for water reuse.

Single-Injection Analysis of Formic Acid and Free Volatile Fatty Acids Using Flame Ionization Detector with In-jet Methanizer
While short chain (C2- C7) volatile fatty acids (VFAs) can usually be analyzed in free form, formic acid commonly requires derivatization to methyl formate to be detected by a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). The use of an in-jet methanizer (Jetanizer) allows simultaneous determination of formic acid along with other volatile fatty acids in free form with FID. This study demonstrates the analysis of underivatized formic acid simultaneously with VFAs, from C2 to C5, on the GC-2050 with a Jetanizer for FID detection.
