Microwave assisted extraction of dioxins from fly ash samples

Dioxins are toxic and persistent molecules covered by the Stockholm Convention and several governments require their analysis in environmental samples. Microwave assisted solvent extraction is a well-established sample preparation technique applied in several official methods. Milestone’s ETHOS X equipped with SR-15 eT rotor and glass vial kit was used in this study to prove its efficacy in the extraction of dioxins from fly ash samples. Discover the study that represents a guideline for the extraction of dioxins and furans from standard reference materials using the official method EPA 3546.
