Microwave plasma torch mass spectrometry for the direct detection of copper and molybdenum ions in aqueous liquids

Microwave plasma torch (MPT) is a simple and low power‐consumption ambient ion source. And the MPT Mass spectra of many metal elements usually exhibit some novel features different from their inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectra, which may be helpful for metal element analysis. Here, we presented the results about the MPT mass spectra of copper and molybdenum elements by a linear ion trap mass spectrometer (LTQ). The generated copper or molybdenum contained ions in plasma were characterized further in collision‐induced dissociated (CID) experiments. These researches built a novel, direct and sensitive method for the direct analysis of trace levels of copper and molybdenum in aqueous liquids. Quantitative results showed that the limit of detection (LOD) by using MS² procedure was estimated to be 0.265 µg/l (ppb) for copper and 0.497 µg/l for molybdenum. The linear dynamics ranges cover at least 2 orders of magnitude and the analysis of a single aqueous sample can be completed in 5–6 min with a reasonable semi‐quantitative sense. Two practical aqueous samples, milk and urine, were also analyzed qualitatively with reasonable recovery rates and RSD. These experimental data demonstrated that the MPT MS is able to turn into a promising and hopeful tool in field analysis of copper and molybdenum ions in water and some aqueous media, and can be applied in many fields, such as environmental controlling, hydrogeology, and water quality inspection. Moreover, MPT MS could also be used as the supplement of ICP‐MS for the rapid and in‐situ analysis of metal ions. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Detection of uranium in industrial and mines samples by microwave plasma torch mass spectrometry

Microwave plasma torch (MPT), traditionally used as the light source for atomic emission spectrophotometry, has been employed as the ambient ionization source for sensitive detection of uranium in various ground water samples with widely available ion trap mass spectrometer. In the full‐scan mass spectra obtained in the negative ion detection mode, uranium signal was featured by the uranyl nitrate complexes (e.g. [UO₂(NO₃)₃]^?), which yielded characteristic fragments in the tandem mass spectrometry experiments, allowing confident detection of trace uranium in water samples without sample pretreatment. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the calibration curves were linearly responded within the concentration levels ranged in 10–1000 µg·l^?1, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 31.03 ng·l^?1. The relative standard deviations (RSD) values were 2.1–5.8% for the given samples at 100 µg·l^?1. The newly established method has been applied to direct detection of uranium in practical mine water samples, providing reasonable recoveries 90.94–112.36% for all the samples tested. The analysis of a single sample was completed within 30 s, showing a promising potential of the method for sensitive detection of trace uranium with improved throughput.

Trace level analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface waters by solid phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry (GC-ITMS).

Ontario Provincial Water Quality Objectives for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface waters require low parts per trillion (ng L(-1))/high parts per quadrillion (pg L(-1)) detection limits. To meet these monitoring requirements, a solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry (SPE-GC-ITMS) method was developed. Seventeen priority PAHs commonly monitored in surface and drinking waters were examined using an external ionization ion trap mass spectrometer operated in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Under 70 eV electron ionization (El) conditions, both the quantitative [M]+* ion and confirmatory [M - 2H]+* ion were formed in classical abundance ratios. Each of these ion species was isolated in the ion trap using a specific scan function. However, to overcome poor levels of confirmatory ion abundance which otherwise restrict PAH method detection limits (MDLs), the abundance of [M - 2H]+* ions was augmented during isolation by causing the dissociation of [M]+* with the broad-band waveform used for high mass ion ejection. Augmenting the [M - 2H]+* signal intensity facilitated the achievement of MDLs of approximately 1 ng L(-1). PAHs in surface water samples that were not detected by current Ontario Ministry of the Environment high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence and GC-single-stage quadrupole mass spectrometry methods were detected and quantified using the ion trap mass spectrometry SIM method. The data produced by all three methods on natural water samples fortified at sub-parts per billion (ppb) levels were comparable. When applied to Standards Council of Canada/Canadian Association for Environmental Analytical Laboratories (SCC/CAEAL, www.CAEAL.ca) accreditation audit samples, the SPE-GC-ITMS method results met all performance evaluation criteria.

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry for the analysis of diallyldimethylammonium chloride in water

We report a selective, sensitive and fast liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for the determination of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) in water. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was used to avoid ion-pairing reagents, which are generally employed to retain cationic compounds. The complementary information obtained in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer and in an ion trap Orbitrap has been used to study the fragmentation of the DADMAC cation [M](+) and for the correct assignment of the products ions. The HILIC/MS/MS method developed, using electrospray ionization in positive ion mode and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) acquisition mode, led to a reliable determination and confirmation of the DADMAC cation in water samples down to 50 ng L(-1). The low detection limit achieved, in combination with the absence of matrix effects, allowed the direct analysis of samples without any pretreatment, preconcentration or clean-up step. DADMAC was determined in samples collected in a drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) in Barcelona (Spain) and it was found in the influent at the μg L(-1) level.

Quantitative analysis of crude plasma extracts by ion trap tandem mass spectrometry

The ion trap mass spectrometer is a tandem-in-time instrument that has promise as an extremely sensitive device for practical tandem mass spectrometry assays. An approach for the quantitative analysis of unknown drug levels in crude extracts, using combined capillary gas chromatography and the ion trap mass spectrometer in the tandem mode, is described. One-gram plasma samples were spiked with an anti-inflammatory drug at levels of 1–100 ng, and with 50 ng of a chemical analog internal standard. Crude extracts of the plasma samples are analyzed by using scan functions that utilize combined radiofrequency (rf) and de voltages. The need for combined rf- and de-voltage sequences for analysis of such extracts is demonstrated by comparison to attempted analyses using only rf voltages. Limitations of the method are: (1) the need for accurate calibration of ionization times to obtain linear calibration lines, and (2) the lack of automatic gain control for scans using combined rf and dc voltages to control and optimize parent ion populations and to allow a simpler analysis of “unknowns. ”     

Collection of selected reaction monitoring and full scan data on a time scale suitable for target compound quantitative analysis by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

A hybrid linear ion trap/triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was used to demonstrate the value of collecting full scan qualitative data during quantitative analysis of target compounds. We present examples of the additional information that can be obtained from plasma samples analyzed primarily for target compound concentrations. This information includes detection of circulating metabolites, dosing vehicle, interfering matrix components, and potential interfering drug conjugates. Additionally, the quantitative results from selected reaction monitoring (SRM) analysis and from combined full scan and SRM analysis (SRM/EMS) were compared. The quantitative data in both scan modes are acceptable in terms of sensitivity, accuracy and precision. One can conclude from this work that the hybrid linear ion trap/triple quadrupole mass analyzer can provide in a single analysis both useful qualitative data, and accurate and precise quantitative data from the samples routinely prepared and analyzed for target drug concentrations.     

Determination of uranium in tap water by ICP-MS

A fast and accurate procedure has been developed for the determination of uranium at microg L(-1) level in tap and mineral water. The method is based on the direct introduction of samples, without any chemical pre-treatment, into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Uranium was determined at the mass number 238 using Rh as internal standard. The method provides a limit of detection of 2 ng L(-1) and a good repeatability with relative standard deviation values (RSD) about 3% for five independent analyses of samples containing 73 microg L(-1) of uranium. Recovery percentage values found for the determination of uranium in spiked natural samples varied between 91% and 106%. Results obtained are comparable with those found by radiochemical methods for natural samples and of the same order for the certified content of a reference material, thus indicating the accuracy of the ICP-MS procedure without the need of using isotope dilution. A series of mineral and tap waters from different parts of Spain and Morocco were analysed.
