Considerations for HPLC-ICP-MS Parameters
• The determination of Cr by ICP-MS is complicated by polyatomic interferences:
• 40Ar12C+ on 52Cr
• 37Cl16O+ on 53Cr
• IC and sample preparation parameters need to be chosen carefully due to the complex redox chemistry of Cr

mainly by collisions• If reactive gas used, reactions occur

Arsenic and Sulfur Speciation in Natural Waters
• Detection of S is hampered by spectral interferences• 16O2+, 16O18O+ etc.
• Use of CCT mode with O2 to convert As and S in AsO+ (m/z 91) and SO+ (m/z 48), resp.

Arsenic and Sulfur Speciation in Natural Waters
• A multi-elemental speciation method has been developed for the simultaneous characterization of sulfur and arsenic containing species:
• A simple autotune procedure configures the instrument for optimal detection of sulfur and arsenic using reaction with O2 in Qcell
• RFIC with a KOH gradient significantly simplifies set-up and ensures separation of eight sulfur/arsenic containing species in under 15 mins
• Narrow bore column (2 mm i.d.) allows reduction of the mobile phase flow rate to 0.4 mL min-1
• Oxyanions containing other species can also be measured simultaneously
