An analytical method based on reversed-phase microbore HPLC coupled
on-line with electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) is described. The
method allows for the determination of up to ten organoarsenicals in a
single chromatographic run. Excellent sensitivity and selectivity is
achieved by operating the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in the
selected-reaction monitoring mode. This is possible because the ions
produced by collision-induced dissociation of the protonated molecules or
molecular ions of the ten organoarsenicals are characteristic of each
compound. The best LODs, achieved in the positive-ion mode, were between 2
and 21 pg of arsenic and corresponded to arsenicals which exist as cations
in acidic solutions. The selectivity achieved by using this method allows
for successful determination of arsenicals co-eluting during HPLC. This is
a major improvement over other hyphenated techniques already used for
arsenic speciation,
e.g.
, HPLC–ICP-MS. Furthermore, the
method was used for the analysis of an undiluted urine SRM in which
arsenobetaine was determined to be present at the low µg
l
-1
level.
