GC/ICP/MS separates and measures ultra-trace levels of metals and organo-metallic compounds.

GC/ICP/MS* analysis from Intertek allows lower limits of detection for metals, sulphur and mercury speciation in crude oils and oil products. In conjunction with LC/ICP/MS, the capability for the analysis of water samples is significantly enhanced. GC/ICP/MS provides a powerful laboratory technique for analyses with the capability to separate and quantitate ultra-trace levels of metals and organo-metallic compounds. This unique and powerful analytical tool is available through the Intertek Sunbury Technology Centre, in the UK. Samples can be easily shipped for testing.

What is GC/ICP/MS?

GC/ICP/MS combines three analytical tools; Gas Chromatography, Inductively Coupled Plasma and Mass Spectrometry, into one integrated system.

Advantages of GC/ICP/MS analysis:

• Detection limit: ~50 ng/g, 50 ppb is several orders of magnitude lower than rival detectors
• Speciation of Sulphur: Compound Independent Calibration (the sulphur response factor for any compound can be determined from a singe compound), Stability and Robustness
• Sensitivity towards a specific element (eg, sulphur) is virtually unaffected by large quantities of other components present in the matrix

Testing Applications for GC/ICP/MS include:

• Metals Speciation Analysis and Testing 
  • Sulphur Speciation
  • Mercury Speciation
  • Determination of Organometallic Species
  • Mercury Speciation in Refinery Products and Feedstocks
• Trace Metal Analysis in Water
• Determination of Phosphorus containing Pesticides
• Determination of Sulphur containing Pesticides

The GC-ICP-MS system is equipped with a high sample throughput auto sampler. 100 samples can be processed using 100 different methods. The unique software controls both the GC and the ICP-MS, preventing miscommunication between both instruments.
