Development and Multi-laboratory Verification of U.S. EPA Method 543 for the Analysis of Drinking Water Contaminants by On-Line Solid Phase Extraction-LC/MS/MS

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: April 21, 2026 at 07:56 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 11, 2017
A drinking water method for seven pesticides and pesticide degradates was developed that addresses the occurrence monitoring needs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a future Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR). The method employs on-line solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC/MS/MS). On-line SPE-LC/MS/MS has the potential to offer cost-effective, faster, more sensitive, and more rugged methods than the traditional off-line SPE approach due to complete automation of the SPE process, as well as seamless integration with the LC/MS/MS system. Multi-laboratory data are presented that demonstrate method ruggedness and transferability. The final method meets all of the EPA’s UCMR survey requirements for sample collection and storage, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity.
