On-line Chloride Interference Removal for Arsenic Determination in Waste Water and Urine by ICP-MS Using a Modified Capillary

2002

The determination of arsenic in environmental samples like waste waters from industrial effluents and in biological samples like urine is very important due to the toxic nature of some of its species at moderate levels of exposure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of modified anionic capillaries to remove chloride for ICP-MS determination of arsenic, which causes spectral interference due to formation of 40 Ar 35 Cl + . Also high chloride content gives non-spectral interferences. The results indicate that arsenic at a concentration higher than 1 µg L m 1 in a matrix with a chloride content up to 600 mg L m 1 can be accurately determined using a 3-aminopropyltrimeth…

Validation of a high-performance chromatographic method for determination of cefotaxime in biological samples

1999

An analytical method for detecting and quantifying cefotaxime in plasma and several tissues is described. The method was developed and validated using plasma and tissues of rats. The samples were analyzed by reversed phase liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection (254 nm). Calibration graphs showed a linear correlation (r > 0.999) over the concentration ranges of 0.5–200 μg/mL and 1.25–25 μg/g for plasma and tissues, respectively. The recovery of cefotaxime from plasma standards prepared at the concentrations of 25 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL was 98.5 ± 3.5% and 101.8 ± 2.2%, respectively. The recovery of cefotaxime from tissue standards of liver, fat and muscle, prepared at the concentration…

Dynamic reaction cell inductively couple plasma-mass spectrometry optimization for seawater analysis

2018

Abstract A direct method for dynamic reaction cell inductively coupled plasma- mass spectrometry (DRC-ICP-MS) trace mineral elements determination in seawater was optimized by Experimental Statistical Design. Five instrumental parameters, such as radiofrequency, sample, nebulizer and reaction gas flows, rejection parameter q and axial field voltage were studied. A Plackett-Burman design was used for screening the most important parameters and the most significant ones were optimized with a Central composite design. Fifteen elements and different isotopes for some of these were considered through the study. The optimization was achieved by using three different reaction gases (NH3, CH4 and O…

Procedures of Separation and Pre‐concentration for Molybdenum Determination Using Atomic Spectrometry—a Review

2004

Abstract The literature concerning the improvement of atomic and ionic procedures for molybdenum determination through separation and pre‐concentration were updated. Analytical procedures based on flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AAAS), electrothermal or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were reviewed taking into consideration the preliminary steps, which can enhance the selectivity and sensitivity based on co‐precipitation, solvent extraction, and solid‐phase extraction. Both in‐batch and on‐line procedures were considered.

Accurate determination of element species by on-line coupling of chromatographic systems with ICP-MS using isotope dilution technique

1998

Abstract The instrumental design for coupling different liquid chromatographic systems such as ion, reversed phase, and size exclusion chromatography as well as capillary gas chromatography, with ICP-MS for the determination of element species is described. For accurate analyses obtaining ‘real time’ concentrations of chromatographic peaks, the isotope dilution mass spectrometric (IDMS) technique is applied. Two different spiking modes are possible, one using species-specific and another one using species-unspecific spike solutions of isotope-enriched labelled compounds. The species-specific mode is only possible for element species well defined in their structure and composition, for examp…

Isotope-dilution ICP-MS for trace element determination and speciation: from a reference method to a routine method?

2003

This critical review discusses the conditions under which inductively coupled plasma-isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ICP-IDMS) is suitable as a routine method for trace element and element-speciation analysis. It can, in general, be concluded that ICP-IDMS has high potential for routine analysis of trace elements if the accuracy of results is of predominant analytical importance. Hyphenated techniques with ICP-IDMS suffer both from lack of commercially available isotope-labeled spike compounds for species-specific isotope dilution and from the more complicated system set-up required for species-unspecific ICP-IDMS analysis. Coupling of gas or liquid chromatography with species-specific …

ICP-MS multielement determination in fly ash after microwave-assisted digestion of samples.

2001

A microwave assisted digestion procedure has been developed for dissolution of fly ash samples prior to the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometric determination of their elemental composition. The developed methodology was validated by carrying out the analysis of two high-silicate containing reference materials (CRM 134R sewage amended soil and NIES JR 1 rock) and by means of the comparison between results found by microwave-assisted digestion and ICP-MS of fly ash samples with those found by neutron activation analysis (NAA) for Sb, Cs, Cr, Co, Fe, U and Zn determination. The method developed can be recommended for routine multielement analysis of fly ash.

An ultrasound-assisted digestion method for the determination of toxic element concentrations in ash samples by inductively coupled plasma optical em…

2007

Abstract A method of ultrasound-assisted digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) used for the determination of toxic element concentrations (arsenic, barium, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, strontium, vanadium and zinc) in ash samples was developed. All the measurements were performed in robust plasma conditions which were tested by measuring the Mg(II) 280.270 nm/Mg(I) 285.213 nm line intensity ratios. The highest line intensity ratios were observed when a nebulizer gas flow of 0.6 L min−1, auxiliary gas flow of 0.2 L min−1 and plasma power of 1400 W were used for radially viewed plasma. The analysis of SRM 1633b showed that the ultrasound-ass…

Die Elimination von Hydroxyäthylstärke 200/0,5, Dextran 40 und Oxypolygelatine

1982

After withdrawal of 400 ml whole blood and subsequent infusion of 500 ml of a colloidal plasma substituent, the intravascular and renal colloid elimination was investigated in 40 test subjects. The individual colloidal solutions could no longer be demonstrated in the intravascular space after the following times: 10% hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 (anthrone method) after six weeks, 10% dextran 40 (anthrone method) after two weeks, 6% hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 (anthrone method) after four weeks and 5.5% oxypolygelatine (hydroxyproline method) after two days. Colloidal plasma substitutes are polydisperse solutions with various molecular weights and degree of hydroxyethylation and therefore, al…
