Anthraquinone Analysis Offered by Columbia Analytical
Columbia Analytical has completed the implementation of the National Council of Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) Method AQ-S108.01 for the determination of anthraquinone in pulp and paper products.
In response to California’s listing of anthraquinone with Proposition 65, many companies are proactively having their products tested for anthraquinone in advance of the ruling’s effective date. This procedure is currently being performed by Columbia Analytical as written and released by NCASI.
Columbia Analytical has been in consultation with NCASI scientists over the past year in preparation for this action by the state. This preparation enabled Columbia Analytical to be in position to offer the Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) procedure in time for pulp and paper operations to comply with the regulation.
Columbia Analytical is currently analyzing for anthraquinone in samples for multiple organizations.
For more information on anthraquinone analysis, please contact Jeff Christian at 360-501-3316 or Ed Wallace at 360-577-7222.

The answer your question depends on your current chemistry understanding. The chemistry behind the compounds you are interested in is quite diverse. I would suggest that you either search the internet or your local library for the chemistry information that suits your needs.

I want to know how can i test anthraquinon in exacted plant
October 16th, 2009 at 4:43 am
Thank you for the information. Please may you avail with comprehensive data on
-Test for anthraquinones in plants
-Extraction of anthaquinones from plants
-Purification of anthraquinones from plants
-Common plants with anthraquinones (botanical and common names)

We use a method from the National Council of Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) - Method AQ-S108.01, a GC/MS procedure. We cannot give those methods out, but you can request a copy of the method from them. As to exactly how we perform the method in our laboratories - that information is proprietary to our company.
In response to the request for common plants with anthraquinones, I would suggest you search the internet or contact a local University’s botany department. We do not have such a list. If you would like Columbia Analytical to perform this tests for you, please contact Ed Wallace or Jeff Christian at 360-577-7222. Thank you!

You may contact the ISO organization directly for this information. Their website may be found at http://www.iso.org. The Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industries (www.TAPPI.org) organization may also be helpful. We do perform a number of the tests for coatings/paper/etc. based on industry methods, but the actual procedures we use are proprietary to our company.

Hello Toulack!
We test samples for anthraquinone on a routine basis by NCASI Method AQ-S108-01, however, we are not at liberty to discuss our data results. I am not aware of published studies of anthraquinone analyses. For more information you might try contacting NCASI.

Sir,
I would like to know if you procedure for the testing of residual Anthraquinone in pulp. If you have can you provide one. Thank you.
