Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in separation techniques: recent trends in phosphorus speciation
1Department of Chemistry, University of Cincinnati, OH 45221-0172, USA.
Abstract:
Inductively coupled plasma-MS (ICP-MS) and its combined use with molecular mass spectrometric techniques have become the most promising detection techniques in speciation studies. High sensitivity and element specificity of ICP-MS has the advantage of detecting trace amounts of the species of interest in complex matrices. This review is divided into two parts. In the first part, suitable use of ICP-MS either online or offline with currently used separation techniques such as HPLC, CE, and gel electrophoresis in speciation analysis is briefly discussed. In the second part, recent applications (1999-2005) of phosphorus speciation is presented to elucidate the importance of ICP-MS in separation methods and to illustrate its importance in nonmetal detection.
