A versatile capillary gas chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer interface

Abstract A versatile, inexpensive, easily made interface for capillary GC-ICPMS (HRGC-ICPMS) on line coupling has been constructed. The interface does not require any changes of the ICP, and can be done in less than a minute. Optimizing of the ICP-MS and the interface can be performed on-line under GC conditions. The capability of the hyphenated system are demonstrated by analyzing standards of non-polar organometallic compounds of P. As, Sn and Sb, as well as organotins in an environmental sediment sample.
