Quantitative Analysis of Perchlorate using the Bruker amaZon SL Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
14 Nov 2012Perchlorates are water-soluble salts derived from perchloric acid, with strong oxidizing capabilities, that can be toxic to humans through negative affecting thyroid function. The analysis presented in this application note, shows that the Bruker amaZon SL LC/MS system can be used for the reliable quantification of perchlorate at appropriate concentration limits (i.e. 6 ng/mL) in matrices of drinking water or local untreated surface water.

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.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).PerchloratePerchloric Acid
