6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) is a transformation product of a chemical used in tires to prevent degradation. As tires wear down, particles containing 6PPD-Q are released onto roads and eventually washed into waterways during rainfall. This has raised significant environmental concern, as studies have shown the compound to be harmful to aquatic life and ecosystems.
In response to these growing concerns, the EPA introduced draft Method 1634 to support laboratories in detecting and monitoring 6PPD-Q in water samples.
To assist labs in this effort, PromoChrom has developed a complete solution that pairs the SPE-03 Automated Extractor with our new Aquaris reverse-phase SPE cartridges. This setup automates the extraction for up to eight samples in parallel, minimizing manual handling and improving throughput. It has also demonstrated excellent recoveries and consistency, giving labs confidence in their 6PPD-Q testing results and helping them stay compliant with evolving regulatory standards.
