Speciation analysis is critical in the food, environmental, and pharmaceutical industries, where identifying different species of an element and their concentrations provides a more informed understanding of the environmental or health-related impact associated with a particular sample.
Ion chromatography (IC) is used for the separation of all kinds of polar or charged analytes. For some species, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be a powerful alternative to suppressed conductivity or UV absorption detectors for IC, enabling lower limits of detection and wider dynamic ranges.
In this webinar, Daniel Kutscher and Carl Fisher discuss the importance of speciation and the distinct advantages of using an IC-ICP-MS system. Additionally, they will highlight applications relevant for food analysis and industrial process control.
