September 28, 2018
Author(s)
Walter B. Wilson, Stephen A. Wise, Lane C. Sander
The baseline separation of benzo[a]pyrene in complex samples via reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) is particularly challenging due to the potential for interferences from other molecular mass 252 (MM, g/mol) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs
