Sludge, treated biowaste and soil - Determination of pharmaceutical products

Scope

This Technical Specification specifies a method to analyse pharmaceutical compounds in solid matrices. Pharmaceuticals analysis has been carried out on a LC/MS-MS quantum. The main difficulty in this project is the lack of sample certified in researched analytes. Even with spiked solid matrices it is still delicate to correctly verify the impact of extraction step, because it does not reproduce a real sample.
What is proposed here is an analytical method on pharmaceuticals products on sludge, soils and sediments.
This document provides a final protocol on the extraction and purification tested on sludge, soils and sediments spiked with pharmaceutical compounds.
