Sorry to ring my own bell, but you may wish to try 28397-U Multilayer Dioxin Column from Supelco.

It is a flash chromatography column used in Japan to separate dioxins from food and soil-water samples. Combined with the dual layer carboxen column it is a powerful and documented tool for isolation of dioxins from a myriad of matrices.

Please contact Supelco technical service for the bulletin for this system.

Thank you, Chromatographer1, in fact I know Supelco have good system for dioxin analysis, I used before but for dioxins in air, but for food there are so many products and methods, could you send me the reference of that aplication?

If you email techservice@ sial.com they will have at hand more information available than I do. Please email them or send me your email address and I will forward it to them.

The methods designed for this equipment are Japanese Industrial methods. If you review the literature available, for example, papers at the Boston Dioxin Conference in 2003, you will see applications using this Multilayer Dioxin Column.
