Abstract:
An online internal standard correction technique for high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) was designed using an autosampler system equipped with HPLC to improve the analytical precision. The autosampler was programed to operate in the following sequence: it first takes up a portion of sample solution, rinses the nozzle, sucks air as a spacer, takes an internal standard solution and finally injects all of them into a sampling loop through an injection valve. The repeatability of the sampling (amount 20 μL) was improved from 2.5 to 1.2% using the online internal standard technique. This technique was applied to As speciation in food samples, since food safety monitoring requires high precision and high sample throughput. Rhenium was very suitable as an internal standard element due to its retention time, peak shape and water solubility. This technique effectively improved the analytical precision of the As speciation and got rid of the operation of adding an internal standard solution into samples.
