Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)

Accurate results by choosing the appropriate sample preparation techniques.

Persistent organic pollutants are highly-stable organic chemicals that are resistant to photolytic, biological and chemical decomposition. They persist in the environment, accumulate in the food chain and can have a negative impact on human health as well as the environment – even when only present in low concentrations.


Using the GERSTEL Twister in the preparation of potentially contaminated samples allows POPs to be identified and quantified even at extremely low concentrations.
