Determination of perchlorate by US EPA Method 332.0 using a compact HPIC system with mass spec

16 Aug 2024

Perchlorate has been used as an oxidizer in rockets, munitions, and fireworks since the 1950s. It has been found to cause thyroid dysfunction and has been linked to tumors in humans. Perchlorate is regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (2011) although the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) and Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) have not yet been established. Explore how Thermo Fisher Scientific identifies and quantitates trace levels of perchlorate in raw and finished drinking waters according to US EPA Method 332.0 using a compact high-pressure ion chromatography (HPIC) system coupled with a single quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Thermo Fisher Scientific

As an ion chromatographer, the routine IC applications you run give the rest of us the peace of mind to use everyday resources like water, food and beverages, biofuels and pharmaceuticals without a second thought. Using this high-pressure-capable IC system to separate and quantify common ionic pollutants in municipal drinking water and wastewater can provide faster, more cost-effective methods for regulatory compliance testing.   Nothing supports you in this role more than your laboratory instruments. The Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ Integrion™ HPIC™ system is designed to be your reliable lab partner.     Features:   Simplified plumbing layout with integrated architecture - Layout based on logical flow-path for easy component access in a compact platform with a small physical footprint. Consumables Device Monitor - Provides positive identification of a consumable's performance metrics, preventing consumable installation errors and mismatches by automatically logging consumable use and performance. Detachable tablet with local language support - Flexible access to IC controls that speak your language Upgradeable features - In a fluid market with changing demands, the Dionex Integrion IC system offers a wide range of upgradable components, so it can grow with your needs over time. These include electrolytic sample preparation and electrolytic water purification Automated Eluent Generation (EG™) - Eliminate human errors associated with manual eluent preparation and improve method reproducibility from operator-to-operator and lab-to-lab. The Dionex Integrion IC system brings consistent results to all your applications. In this case, 100 injections of a simple sugar mixture are highly reproducible. Wide range of column support - Choose the column sizes you need for your applications, including smaller-particle-size 4 µm columns that provide faster run times and better resolution. Flexibility – two different models to choose from and option to choose right detector or column format for your application

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.
