On-line SPE chromatography with spectrophotometric diode array detection as a simple and advantageous choice for the selective trace analysis of benzo(a)anthracene degradation products from microalgae
On-line SPE and HPLC/UV were used to analyze the dihydrodiol metabolites of BaA in microalgae cultures. High concentration factors and lower UV limits similar to those for fluorescence detection. This is the first reported individual quantitation of these microalgae degradation products of BaA.
