Analysis of drinking water in compliance with EPA Method 200.8, Revision 5.4

16 Aug 2024

US EPA Method 200.8, Revision 5.4, provides procedures and guidelines for the determination of dissolved and total recoverable elements in a variety of samples, primarily ground waters, surface waters and drinking water, but also wastewater, soils, and sludges using Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Explore the analytical workflow developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific for the iCAP™ RQplus ICP-MS, enabling laboratories to perform uninterrupted analysis of water samples for extended periods.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
