Sensitive, simultaneous determination of P, S, Cl, Br and I containing pesticides in environmental samples by GC hyphenated with collision-cell ICP-MS

Development of novel and sensitive methods for the determination of sulfide in aqueous samples by hydrogen sulfide generation-inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy

“…Although, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been used for the determination of sulfur, it is well known that polyatomic oxygen ions greatly interfere with sulfur isotopes. These spectroscopic interferences can be avoided by desolvation, the introduction of a reaction-collision cell or a combination of both [26][27][28][29][30] as well by as the use of high resolution ICP-MS [31]. On the other hand, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) has also been used for the determination of elementary sulfur [32,33].…”

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in separation techniques: Recent trends in phosphorus speciation

“…These devices have been used in many recent applications to obtain relatively interference free responses and eventually lower detection limits for trace analysis of elements in the biological matrix. Detection limits in the range of high ng/L is obtained for phosphorus-containing pesticides using ICP-MS equipped with octopole collision cell [24,42].…”

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for Quantitative Analysis in Environmental and Life Sciences: A Review of Challenges, Solutions, and Trends

“…54 Helium has been used as cell gas at a flow rate of 1.25 mL min -1 to reduce polyatomic interferences on the mass of phosphorus. In addition, nitrogen has been added to the plasma for sensitivity enhancement, which unfortunately also results in a substantially increased phosphorus background due to the formation of nitrogen-containing interfering polyatomic ions such as 14 To fully utilize the potential of ICP-MS, in particular its multi-element capability, Pröfrock et al used GC-CC-ICP-MS for the simultaneous determination of up to 23 phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, bromine, and iodine containing pesticides.…”

“…[8][9][10] Here the field of metallomics, which focuses on the global analysis of the entirety of all metal and metalloid species within a cell or tissue type, represents one of the most dynamic research areas that recently emerged from trace element speciation. [11][12][13] Within this context, the utilization of ICP-MS has been changed, since for the first time this technique is now used to detect organic compounds, 14 organometallic compounds, 15 or even more complex bio molecules, such as nucleic acids, [16][17][18][19] phospholipids, 20 and metalproteins 9 via their specific and often characteristic element content. As a result the concept of hetero (element) tagged proteomics has been proposed, in which analytical information is generated by the complementary application of elemental and molecule-specific mass spectrometry, as well as the utilization of hetero atoms such as phosphorus, sulfur, and selenium for screening and quantification purposes.…”
