IC-MS applications - a strong partnership of Agilent and
Metrohm
The combination of the two techniques ion chromatography
(IC) and mass spectrometry (MS) guarantees
improved sensitivity and lower detection limits, as matrix
interference is reduced to the absolute minimum. Thanks to
the highly selective detection by mass spectrometry, the obtained
substance peaks can be identified unambiguously. The technique
can also be used for the structural analysis of larger molecules.
In addition, IC-MS is suitable for element speciation and
offers the possibility of differentiating between organic
and inorganic compounds of one and the same element. Tandem
conductivity and mass spectrometric detection
provides even more comprehensive information on the samples
to be analyzed.
Interesting applications
With the IC-MS system from Agilent and Metrohm even complex
separation problems can be solved reliably, fully automatically
and with excellent precision. The spectrum of applications
ranges from the determination of 0.1 ppb perchlorate in the
presence of a 10'000’000-fold excess of chloride, carbonate
and sulfate to the detection of aliphatic carboxylic acids
in brine and to the determination of trace amounts of bromate
in drinking water.
