Elemental Speciation - When and why to couple IC to ICP-MS |
|
Simply measuring the total amount of an element in a sample does not always provide the complete picture. It may also been important to identify and quantify the different species of that element to determine the sample’s or toxicity. Ion chromatography (IC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the method of choice for speciation analysis. IC uses polyether ether ketone (PEEK), an inert material, to produce a totally metal-free flow path. You don’t have to worry about metals leaching from your chromatographic system, which is especially critical if you plan to determine the concentration of trace metals in your sample.

For elemental speciation, either IC or HPLC can be used for separation prior to ICP-MS detection. While HPLC has been used extensively, IC has a distinct advantage.
