I want to screen the presence of plastic additives in a few water samples using HPLC-UV. I am very new to HPLC, and after doing a reading on the sample preparation for HPLC, I found there are a few methods and procedures that can be applied such as; solid-phase extraction, etc. However, I am not sure which method suits my water samples. Can anyone suggest me what the best sample extraction and preparation needed before testing it using HPLC?
