In recent years, there has been increasing concern regarding the presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water bodies throughout the world. A greater demand is being placed on techniques not only used to screen for these compounds, but to screen for the presence of their metabolites. The unparalleled performance of ACQUITY UPLC, in combination with advanced mass spectrometry and innovative column and sample preparation products, is dramatically enhancing water testing capabilities.
