Persistent Organic Pollutants Analysis Service

Many persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are halogenated organic compounds produced industrially for a wide variety of commercial applications, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs). Many POPs are proved beneficial in pest and disease control for crop production and industry. However, these POPs have had unforeseen effects on human health and the environment. POPs can volatilize from soils, vegetation, and bodies of water into the atmosphere, resisting breakdown reactions in the air, to travel long distances before being re-deposited, so POPs are resistant to environmental degradation and persist in the environment for long periods of time. POPs exposure may cause chronic illnesses, behavioral problems, developmental defects, and even death. And many POPs can cause endocrine disruption within the central nervous system, the immune system or the reproductive system.

Persistent Organic Pollutants Analysis at Creative Proteomics

At Creative Proteomics, we have long-standing experience in the persistent organic pollutants analysis. And our professional technicians can analyze various classes of POPs and their metabolites, including but not limited:

Persistent organic pollutants can be analyzed at Creative Proteomics
1	Aldrin	8	Mirex
2	Chlordane	9	Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
3	Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT )	10	Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs)
4	Dieldrin	11	Polychlorinated dibenzofurans
5	Endrin	12	Toxaphene
6	Heptachlor	13	Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)
7	Hexachlorobenzene (HCB )	14	Perflorinated compounds (PFCs )

There are some challenges to analyze POPs in complex matrices, because of POPs’ broad concentration ranges and the presence of interfering substances with similar physicochemical properties. Based on advanced equipment, professional knowledge, and highly specialized personnel, Creative Proteomics can provide comprehensive analysis of persistent organic pollutants in complex matrices. Our methods are included, but are not limited to:

Extraction methods: Cavity dispersed microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), focused MAE, pressurized fluid extraction (PFE), liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE), etc.
Analysis technologies: Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS), liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), etc.

Our Advantages

Sensitivity to detect very low levels of POPs.
Available for POPs analysis in complex matrices, including water, soil, gas, etc.
Deliver consistent and high-quality data with cost-efficiency.

Creative Proteomics has professional experts to help you design the best strategies for the persistent organic pollutants analysis. Moreover, if you have any other needs, we would love to design studies to address clients’ specific requirements.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
