Direct determination in low μg/L range on the scTRACE Gold

硒对人体健康的毒性水平和必需水平之间的差别非常小。因此，世界卫生组织的 “饮用水水质指南 ”和欧洲饮用水指令将硒(IV)的当前暂定指导值设定为最大浓度 10 µg/L。在未经改良的 scTRACE Gold 上采用阳极溶出伏安 (ASV) 技术，可在 30 秒沉积时间内测定低至 0.5 µg/L 的硒浓度。通过延长沉积时间，可以进一步降低这些限值。沉积时间为 30 秒时的线性范围约为 100 微克/升。scTRACE 金电极无需机械抛光等大量维护工作。可在实验室使用 884 专业 VA 或在现场使用 946 便携式重金属快速分析仪进行测量。该方法适用于手动或自动系统。

The difference between the toxic and essential levels of selenium to human health are very slight. Therefore, the current provisional guideline value for selenium(IV) in the World Health Organization’s «Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality» and in the European Drinking Water Directive is set to a maximum concentration of 10 μg/L.

The anodic stripping voltammetric (ASV) technique performed on the unmodified scTRACE Gold can be used to determine concentrations as low as 0.5 μg/L selenium with a 30 s deposition time. These limits can be lowered even further by increasing the deposition time. The linear range at 30 s deposition time ends at approximately 100 μg/L.

The advantage of this method lies in the innovative and cost-effective sensor used for this application: the scTRACE Gold. It is a combined sensor containing the working, reference, and auxiliary electrode integrated on a single ceramic substrate. The scTRACE Gold electrode does not need extensive maintenance such as mechanical polishing. Measurements can be performed in the laboratory with the 884 Professional VA or alternatively in the field with the 946 Portable VA Analyzer. This method is suited for manual or automated systems.

The scTRACE Gold is electrochemically activated prior to the first determination. In the next step, the water sample and the supporting electrolyte are pipetted into the measuring vessel. The determination of selenium(IV) is carried out with the 884 Professional VA or with the 946 Portable VA Analyzer using the parameters specified in Table 1. The concentration is determined by two additions of an selenium(IV) standard addition solution.

At a 30 s deposition time, this method is suitable for the determination of selenium(IV) in water samples in concentrations of β(Se(IV)) = 0.5–50 μg/L using the 884 Professional VA and β(Se(IV)) = 6–75 μg/L using the 946 Portable VA Analyzer.
