Abstract:In the present work, the applicability of a monolithic column was evaluated for mercury speciation analysis in certified and real fish samples. The influence of the flow and composition of the mobile phase (2-mercaptoethanol concentration and methanol content) on the retention times of iHg and MeHg was evaluated. The optimal separation conditions were achieved for a mobile phase containing 5 % methanol and 0.02 % mercaptoethanol in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) at a flow rate of 1.6 ml min-1.
