Abstract: | High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) separates perchlorate from interfering isobaric ions of bisulfate and dihydrogenphosphate in the gas-phase. The use of a new FAIMS prototype and waveform generator, along with the use of a mixed carrier gas, in this electrospray ionisation (ESI)-FAIMS-mass spectrometry (MS) study gave a detection limit for perchlorate in a relatively "clean" matrix of tap water of 0.050 ppb. Flow injection analysis (FIA) of dilutions of fortified waste water, a fortified river water certified reference material (CRM; SLRS-4, National Research Council of Canada), and a fortified human urine Standard Reference Material (SRM; 2381, National Institute of Standards and Technology) gave detection limits of 0.37 ppb, 0.50 ppb, and 4.8 ppb, respectively, in the undiluted matrices. |
