Determination of perchlorate by US EPA Method 332.0 using a compact HPIC system with mass spec
16 Aug 2024Perchlorate 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.

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.
