Industry: environmental

Human activities may have undesired effects on the surrounding environment. Consequently, the quantification of substances present in water, soil, and air can help to track pollution levels, identify ecological risks, and ensure compliance with regulations. These environmental health check-ups support industries, governments, and communities in protecting ecosystems while promoting sustainable growth.

Products from Diduco facilitate reliable determination of ionic substances, thereby contributing to understanding of how pollutants are converted, transported, and accumulated in the environment. During continuous monitoring of nutrients to optimize aquaculture of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants, Diduco is helping to ensure that analysis results are consistent also with cost-efficient equipment. Diduco’s technology also contributes to maintaining safe habitat conditions for marine mammals in aquariums and oceanariums.

Determination of fluoride ion concentration to monitor biodegradation of perfluorinated acids

Although perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are knowns for their persistence in natural ecosystems, there are certain bacterial strains that can help to decompose them. This published scientific paper studied bacterial degradation of certain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) by including ion chromatography analysis of fluoride ions, set up on a HPLC instrument with added suppressed conductivity detection.

Quantification of anions in water using an improved ion chromatography system

Anion analysis can be performed at several conditions, using various columns on different systems and still be able to meet official requirements. A common approach is isocratic separation with carbonate-bicarbonate eluents, and this example showcase how such analyses can be improved and streamlined with autosampler injections, continuous suppression and protected eluents.

Separation of glyphosate and related herbicides in aqueous samples

Analysis of glyphosate and related phosphonates acting as systemic herbicides is critical for protecting public health, ensuring regulatory compliance, and monitoring environmental safety. Because these chemicals are persistent, polar, and highly prevalent in agricultural ecosystems, detecting them allows management of dietary exposure and long-term health risks.

ion chromatography

Published routine method for quantification of anions in tap water and natural waters

Quantification of the seven common anions is an important part of water quality control. This published ion chromatography method is from a scientific paper that presents full validation data according to the ICH guidelines to meet the requirements of laboratories acting under the ISO 17025 accreditation.
