Elemental speciation

Elemental speciation by parallel elemental and molecular mass spectrometry and peak profile matching.

Trace elemental speciation in complex, real-world matrixes is a daunting task because of the low concentration of metals/metalloids and the correspondingly high molecular chemical noise. We constructed a liquid chromatography parallel elemental and molecular mass spectrometry (PEMMS) system and evaluated the use of peak elution profiles to identify trace molecular species containing specific he...

Book Review of Handbook of Elemental Speciation Techniques and Methodology

These expectations are now fulfilled by the Handbook of Elemental Speciation. . . .The first volume brings together a collection of chapters covering comprehensively different aspects of procedures for speciation analysis at the different levels starting from sample collection and storage, through sample preparation approaches to render the species chromatographable, principles of separation te...

ELEMENTAL SPECIATION IN HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT: Environmental Health Criteria 234

Elemental speciation: where do we come from? where do we go?{

The present day status of elemental speciation is largely based on the use of hyphenated techniques in particular in the combination of various types of chromatography with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The present status of environmental speciation with the hyphenated techniques is reviewed. There is a growing need for more comprehensive approaches including the direct analysis...
