What passive sampler functions best?

08 January 2020 0 9K Report

I am looking to test a diverse range of pharmaceuticals (EE2, E2, E1, macrolide antibiotics, gemfibrozil, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ciprofloxacin,

Amoxicillin, trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole). so far I am looking to include POCIS, Chemcatcher " ATLANTIC disk + PES membrane" and LSND-AP Loaded DGT device. Does anyone have advice/ recommendations or has anyone heard of another system which would work better?
