01 Solution Summary
Surface or deep soil samples are subjected to GPC cleanup to remove lipids, pigments, and other macromolecular matrix; the target fraction containing the soil semivolatiles after gel cleanup is collected and then submitted to subsequent GC, GC-MS, or HPLC determination. The following arrangements are used for quantitation and quality control: gel cleanup only serves as pretreatment and does not directly provide the content of soil semivolatiles after gel cleanup; target fractions are qualitatively and quantitatively determined by subsequent GC, GC-MS, or HPLC methods, and cleanup blanks, spike recoveries, and fraction window checks are used to evaluate pretreatment quality. Analytical batches also include blanks, calibration checks, and applicable quality control samples.

Method basis: application method. The laboratory may enter the name and version of the adopted formal method into the project file.
03 Samples and Analytes
The specific samples areSurface or deep soil samples, and the analytes areGPC cleanup of soil semivolatiles. Pretreatment, injection, and detection configurations are determined according to the sample state, target concentration, and the formal method adopted.
04 Method Principle
When the sample extract passes through the GPC cleanup column, the macromolecular matrix and smaller target analytes partition differently in the pores; based on this, they elute in separate time windows and the target fraction is collected.
The cleanup system performs matrix removal and fraction collection; it does not perform polymer molecular weight determination.
05 Sample Collection and Pretreatment
Surface or deep soil samples first undergo extraction, dehydration, concentration, and reconstitution, then are filtered and introduced into the GPC cleanup system. The target fraction is concentrated and made up to volume for subsequent detection.
06 Separation and Detection
The fraction window is confirmed using standards or spiked samples to ensure that target analytes enter the collection interval while reducing interference from macromolecules such as lipids and pigments.
