Determination of Chloride in Crude Oils Using an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ
Fast, accurate analysis of crude oils following direct dilution in an o-xylene-based diluent
16 Jul 2019MS/MS technology promises more consistent and reliable reaction gas methods to be used for difficult elements, such as chlorine in complex matrices, than single quadrupole ICP-MS. In this application note, Agilent outlines a method where a NIST trace element in fuel oil SRM and 12 crude oil samples were prepared for analysis using direct dilution. The petroleum crude samples were analyzed using Agilent’s 8900 ICP-QQQ and the results show the importance of fully solubilized samples when using direct dilution as the sample preparation technique.

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.
