Dioxin analysis at Nofalab How it all started (2008)
Before 2008 approximately 500-1000 samples per year were outsourced In 2008 the first generation of an automated system for clean-up and a DFS were purchased, accreditation was obtained Number of samples increased yearly; food and feed

Analysis GC-HRMS “The Golden Standard”
Automated extraction >P and >T Automated clean-up
Separation of: MO-PCBs + NDL PCBs (fraction A) Dioxins + NO-PCBs (fraction B)

Dioxin analysis at Nofalab
Total number of samples per year around 8000 80% fat/oil type direct dilution no extraction needed
20% cereal based (animal feed), minerals, meat, fish(meal),eggs etc; extraction is required e.g. PLE, Schmedes etc.
Average weekly number of samples 160
Turn around time:
5 % of samples within 8 hrs 40 % of samples within 24 hrs 50 % of samples within 2-3 days 5 % of samples within 2 weeks
For 2015/16 increase of 15% is expected and focus on 8 hrs TaT

How do they manage
Average weekly number of samples 160 On top at least 15 QA samples + 15 Procedure blanks Often 10 samples reanalysis Total number of samples is 200 400 fractions On top at least 10 dioxins standards + 10 DL and NDL- PCB standards Total number of injections is 420 60 meter nonpolar column run-time for each fraction 60 minutes In case of two single GC-HRMS instruments 210 hrs required per instrument Lack of > 42 hrs per week Solution combination of ultimate clean-up and dual acquisition

How do they manage GC-HRMS Dual Acquisition
Maintenance • Every Monday liner and septum are replaced • Every fortnight column and ion volume are replaced
• Once a year source is cleaned
• Once a year preventive maintenance by Thermo
• Average downtime less than 5%

Concluding remarks
• Combination of high performance clean-up and GC-HRMS
with dual data acquisition is the ultimate solution
• Mid 2015 capacity will be increased to 12.000 samples per year by: – 10 channel automated clean-up system – Third DFS instrument with dual acquisition or two triple quads will
be purchased – Same number of staff
• LVI under discussion • In 2015 time will be invested for expanding the scope with
new matrices (e.g. environment) and new analytes (e.g. flame retardants)
