PQ LC is a series of modular liquid chromatography systems designed for LC-ICP-MS applications in combination with the PlasmaQuant® MS and MS Elite ICP-MS devices by Analytik Jena. The combination of PQ LC and PlasmaQuant® MS (Elite) provides the most versatile, robust and sensitive solution for speciation analysis yet. It is ideal for the characterization of environmental, food, agricultural, clinical, pharma or consumer goods samples, among many others. The coupling of liquid chromatography with ICP-MS offers unparalleled precision and accuracy with detection limits in the sub parts per trillion range (<1 ng/L).
Optimize your analysis:
- Identify major and trace elements simultaneously
- Work more effectively thanks to minimum downtime, high sample throughput and low maintenance requirements
- Benefit from smooth workflows thanks to user-friendly interfaces, software and the easy change of applications
- Customize and automate the system to your requirements with various upgrade modules such as vial racks or adaptors for microtiter plates
The PQ LC is available in three versions:
PQ LC compact – the routine HPLC system, metal free in PEEK
PQ LC – available in stainless steel and PEEK with various upgrades
PQ IC – the uncompromised ion chromatography solution
Determination of Arsenic Species in Beverages by HPLC-ICP-MS
This application note describes a gradient method for the PQ LC HPLC system developed to separate five arsenic species with special attention to well separated chromatographic signals in shortest time. To test the method‘s applicability for real samples, commercially available apple juice and orange juice samples were analyzed.
