Application Notes: Mass Spectrometry
Monitoring the Fate of Silver Nanoparticles in Seawater Using Single Particle ICP-MS
January 22nd 2020This work demonstrates the ability of the NexION® ICP-MS, coupled to the dedicated Syngistix™ Nano Application software module, to measure silver (Ag) nanoparticles in seawater and track their transformations over time.
EPA Method 8015C for Diesel Range Organics
January 22nd 2020EPA 8015C is a gas chromatographic method used to establish concentrations of a variety of non-halogenated volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons. For the purpose of this application, a Clarus® 690 GC was used for the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons, specifically Diesel Range Organics (DRO).
How can stable isotopes trace pollution sources?
December 12th 2019With isotope fingerprints sources of pollution, monitor water and air quality and track environmental change across space and time can be traced. Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry detects the “isotope fingerprint” of a sample, a unique chemical signature that changes from sample to sample across the environment.
How do isotope fingerprints support doping control investigations?
December 12th 2019Synthetic copies of endogenous steroids are chemically and pharmacologically identical to their endogenous analogs. Analyzing isotopes of the steroids provide characteristic isotope fingerprints of urinary steroids and offer a discrimination framework.
Drinking Water Analysis by ICP-MS using High Throughput Sample Introduction
December 6th 2019This work demonstrates a high throughput method for drinking water testing following EPA 200.8 leveraging PerkinElmer's NexION® HTS sample introduction module, delivering 3-5 times faster sample-to-sample analysis.
Arsenic Speciation in Apple Juice with the NexSAR HPLC-ICP-MS
December 6th 2019This study presents a reversed-phase ion-pairing method for the complete separation and accurate quantification of the main arsenic species in commercially available apple juices in under three minutes, using PerkinElmer's NexSARTM HPLC-ICP-MS speciation solution.
Particle Count and Elemental Analysis of In-Service Lubricants in One Run
December 6th 2019This application note discusses the hyphenation of a new in-line particle counter (PerkinElmer LPC 500TM) to an ICP-OES (PerkinElmer Avio® 500) for combined particle counting and wear metals analysis of in-service oils in a single run.
Stable Analysis of Fusion Samples with the Avio 500 ICP-OES
December 6th 2019This study describes the analysis of lithium metaborate fusion samples using PerkinElmer's Avio® 500 ICP-OES, with a focus on long-term stability, leveraging the benefits of instrumental design characteristics when analyzing high-TDS samples.
