چکیده
Mercury is one of the more toxic elements to living organisms. It is encountered at relatively low concentrations in the environment but with its amplifi cation through the food chain, the fi nal concentration in some foods can be relatively high. In addition, its toxicity is not only linked to its total concentration but is also dependent on the species. Mercury speciation in food analysis is necessary to fully estimate the toxic potential of this element to humans.

Benefits of HPLC-ICP-MS coupling for mercury speciation in food
Mercury is one of the more toxic elements to living organisms. It is encountered at relatively low concentrations in the environment but with its amplification through the food chain, the final concentration in some foods can be relatively high. In addition, its toxicity is not only linked to its total concentration but is also dependent on the species. Mercury speciation in food analysis is ne...
متن کاملArsenic speciation analysis in apple juice using HPLC - ICP - MS with the Agilent 8800 ICP - QQQ Application note
The presence of potentially toxic elements and compounds in foodstuffs is of intense public interest, and so food producers as well as regulators require rapid, reliable screening methods to accurately determine the levels of such contaminants in food and drink. In the case of arsenic (As), concentration levels in foods may be increased through the historical use of As-containing agrochemicals ...
متن کاملDetermination of Organic and Inorganic Selenium Species Using HPLC-ICP-MS Application
A methodology based on coupling isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with optimized collision/reaction cell conditions has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of organic and inorganic selenium species in natural water samples. Selenium concentrations found in total and speciation analysis of a number of water ...

متن کاملApplication of a new HPLC-ICP-MS method for simultaneous determination of Al3+ and aluminium fluoride complexes
The paper presents the new HPLC-ICP-MS method used for conducting speciation analysis of aluminum as free Al(3+) and aluminum fluoride complexes during one analysis. In the study, 5% HNO3 was used as a derivative reagent in order to minimize the possibility of clogging the torch in ICP-MS. Using the new HPLC-ICP-MS method, speciation analysis of aluminum and aluminum fluoride complexes was cond...
