The technique of coupling liquid chromatography to inductively plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is reviewed. A brief introduction to the ICP-MS instrument is given as well as methods to couple the two analytical instruments together. The various types of LC that have been used with ICP-MS detection are discussed and advantages over traditional methods of detection are highlighted, such as the ...

in this research, nanoporous silica (sba-15) was physically functionalized using2-(2-nitrobenzylideneamino) guanidine compound. this functionalized sba-15 was utilized as a new sorbentfor separation and preconcentration of some lanthanide ions. inductively coupled plasma optical emissionspectrometry (icp-oes) was used as a detection technique. the preconcentration factor of the method is 100and...

Nanotechnology is an emerging and rapidly growing field whose dynamics and prospects pose many great challenges to scientists and engineers. Nanoparticles are being used in many materials and products, including coatings (on plastic, glass and clothing), sunscreen, antimicrobial bandages and clothing, MRI contrast agents, biomedical elemental tags and fuel additives, only to name few. However, ...

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is an analytical technique that performs elemental analysis with excellent sensitivity and high sample throughput. The ICP-MS instrument employs a plasma (ICP) as the ionization source and a mass spectrometer (MS) analyzer to detect the ions produced. It can simultaneously measure most elements in the periodic table and determine analyte con...

New analytical techniques for multiparametric characterisation of individual cells are likely to reveal important information about the heterogeneity of immunological responses at the single-cell level. In this proof-of-principle study, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was applied to the problem of concurrently detecting 24 lineage and activation markers e...

Phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and metal concentrations (Al, Cu and Zn) were determined in human brain proteins by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) after separation of protein mixtures by two dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The analysis of phosphorus, silicon and metals in single protein spots in the gel was performed with an optimized microanalytical ...
