Rapid Determination of Five Arsenic Species in Polished Rice Using HPLC-ICP-MS
Five arsenic species, including the toxicologically relevant inorganic forms As(III) and As(V), were determined in 4 minutes, with excellent sensitivity, accuracy and precision using an Agilent LC fitted with a reversed phase column coupled to an ICP-MS. Any potential interferences on As such as ArCl+ were removed using a single-cell gas mode (helium mode), speeding up the analysis.
