Arsenic speciation in Chinese brake fern by ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography–inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ion-pair reverse-phase HPLC–inductively coupled plasma (ICP) MS was employed to determine arsenite [As(III)], dimethyl arsenic acid (DMA), monomethyl arsenic (MMA) and arsenate [As(V)] in Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata L.). The separation was performed on a reverse-phase C18 column (Haisil 100) by using a mobile phase containing 10 mM hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as ion-pairing reagent, 20 mM ammonium phosphate buffer and 2% methanol at pH 6.0. The detection limits of arsenic species with HPLC–ICP-MS were 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 1.8 ppb of arsenic for As(III), DMA, MMA, and As(V), respectively. MMA has been shown for the first time to experimentally convert to DMA in the Chinese brake fern, indicating that Chinese brake fern can convert MMA to DMA by methylation. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

As part of an ongoing study to identify selenium compounds with cancer chemopreventive activity, extracts of selenium-enriched samples were analyzed by HPLC-inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS. Ion-exchange, ion pair and derivatization methods for reversed-phase HPLC were considered and advantages and disadvantages for each compared. Anion exchange allows separation of selenite and selenate, bu...

For selenium speciation analysis, the hyphenation of chromatographic separation with element-specific detection has proved a useful technique. A powerful separation system, which is capable of resolving several biologically and environmentally important selenium compounds in a single column, is greatly needed. However, that has been difficult to achieve. In this paper eight selenium compounds, ...
