Benefits of HPLC-ICP-MS coupling for mercury speciation in food
نویسندگان
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 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 necessary to fully estimate the toxic potential of this element to humans.

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...
