16、andards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.14. Summary of Test Method4.1 This is a performance-based method, and modificationsare allowed to improve performance.4.2 For DPGBE and EGBE analysis, samples are shipped tothe lab

17、between 0C and 6C and analyzed within 5 days ofcollection. The DOW MSDS sheet on DOWANOL*DPNBglycol ether (DPGBE) (Issue Date: 06/18/2010) lists that thematerial is readily biodegradable. The Organisation for Eco-nomic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) 302BTest lists96 % biodegradation in 28 days.

18、4.3 In the lab, the entire collected 20-mL sample is spikedwith surrogate and brought to a volume of 25 mL withacetonitrile. This prepared sample is then filtered using asyringe driven filter unit, and analyzed by LC/MS/MS. Ifvisible oil is present, the prepared sample is allowed to settleresulting

19、in an oil layer at the top of the 25-mL solution. Aportion of the aqueous (bottom) layer is filtered, leaving the oillayer behind, through a syringe driven filter assembly andanalyzed by LC/MS/MS.4.4 DPGBE, EGBE, and surrogate are identified by reten-tion time and one SRM transition. The target anal

20、ytes andsurrogate are quantitated using the SRM transitions utilizing anexternal calibration. The final report issued for each samplelists the concentration of DPGBE, EGBE, and the surrogaterecovery.5.
