Although apple juice is a healthy, and often preferred, alternative to artificially flavored and carbonated drinks for many parents to give to children, concern has been raised over the presence of arsenic within. This work demonstrates a reversed-phase ion-pairing method for the complete separation and accurate quantification of the main and most toxicologically relevant arsenic species in commercially available apple juices, using a PerkinElmer NexSAR HPLC-ICP-MS system.
Breakfast is an important meal in providing essential nutrients to keep your energy levels up throughout the day. How do we ensure the food and beverages we consume are healthy, nutritious and safe? Following is a collection of application notes highlighting solutions that will help you identify micronutrients in milk, cereal, juice and fresh and dried fruits as well as toxic metals in tea, dairy products and apple juice to ensure safety of your breakfast foods.
Due to rising concerns over the carcinogenic properties of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) in drinking water, many national and regional water standards are looking to lower the maximum allowable levels of total chromium and hexavalent chromium in potable waters. And in order to assess trace concentrations of Cr6+ in drinking water, it is necessary to have an instrument capable of measuring parts per trillion (ppt) concentrations of Cr and possessing a wide linear dynamic range – HPLC-ICP-MS is often the instrumentation of choice in such applications.
This work demonstrates an ion exchange method for the characterization of Cr6+ in potable drinking water using our NexSAR HPLC-ICP-MS Speciation Solution. Discover the advantages of the inert and metal-free fluid path of the NexSAR Inert HPLC coupled with the NexION® ICP-MS’ Universal Cell Technology™ for these types of analyses – download this application note.
Testing for harmful metal(loid)s that may be included in raw materials, processes, paints and additives used in the manufacturing processes of children's toys has been mandated by the regulation EN 71-3. This regulation recommends specific testing methods and maximum allowable concentrations of leachable metals and metalloids such as Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr (III), Cr (VI), Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, organotin, Sr and Zn in parts of toys, with the exclusion of general packaging materials.
This work shows a method for the measurement of hexavalent chromium in different toy material categories in accordance with method EN 71-3 Category II, leveraging the unique combination and capabilities of the NexSAR™ Inert HPLC coupled to the robust NexION® ICP-MS.
Speciation studies can provide comprehensive information regarding ion mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity. Consequently, many modern labs are expanding their analytical portfolio to include HPLC-ICP-MS. For such studies, it is advantageous to have an intuitive, user-friendly system that meets the user requirements for automation, ultra-low baseline, powerful integration, and flexible data export. And no one offers a more integrated, versatile, and inert speciation solution than PerkinElmer - accelerate your speciation analysis with the NexSAR™ HPLC-ICP-MS Speciation Solution.
