Sulfur isotope fractionation analysis in mineral waters using an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ
نویسنده
چکیده
Stable isotope geochemistry is a branch of geology that investigates the age of natural materials, their origin and the processes they have undergone since formation [1]. Stable isotope analysis is also used in biogeochemical studies to monitor element cycling in ecosystems [2] and to identify geographical/regional differences for food provenance and archaeology. Of the elements of interest in stable isotope studies (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur), only sulfur is accessible using aqueous solution analysis by ICP-MS, and even sulfur is difficult to measure by conventional quadrupole ICP-MS.

Determination of trace elements in ultrapure semiconductor grade sulfuric acid using the Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ in MS/MS mode
In the semiconductor industry, it is extremely important to reduce contamination within the manufacturing process, as particle-, metallic-, or organic-based contaminants degrade the quality and reliability of the final device. Organic materials, such as photoresist polymer patterns, must be thoroughly removed from the surface of the silicon wafer following ion implantation; this cleaning step i...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in paints, food colorants, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and many other applications. Due to their high refractive index, TiO2 NPs are common ingredients in sun protection products used to guard against UV exposure. However, the fate of NPs in the environment and the potential for toxic effects once absorbed into the body remain largely ...
متن کاملDetermination of P , Si and S in acid digested lubricating oil using the Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP - MS Application note
A new method is described for the accurate determination of silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) in lubricating oil samples using an Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ). An optimized oxygen (O2) massshift method provided limits of detection for 28Si, 31P, 32S and 34S of 0.25, 0.01, 0.18 and 0.75 ppb, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of S...
متن کاملAgilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS: Understanding oxygen reaction mode in ICP-MS/MS
The use of oxygen as a reaction gas for the removal of interferences in quadrupole ICP-MS is well established. However, prior to the development of the Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ), the use of oxygen had been limited to determination of a small number of analytes in simple, well defined matrices. This is because oxygen can react with matrix components, analytes and polyatomic...
متن کاملAccurate determination of sulfur in biodiesel using Isotope Dilution-Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ID-ICP-QQQ)
The development of accurate, sensitive and fast analytical methods for the determination of low levels of sulfur (S) in organic matrices is important in several applications. In this note we concentrate on the determination of S in biodiesel, but the methodology is also applicable to the determination of S (plus other elements) in other matrices such as biological materials and S-containing drugs.
