ABSTRACT
Ammonium acetate is employed in order to develop a novel HPLC-ICP-MS arsenic speciation methodology applicable to six arsenic species, i.e, AC, AB, AsIII, AsV, DMA and MMA. The most predominant species in the toxicological field are covered in a 30-min chromatogram with reproducible and repeatability peak area ratio. Moreover, typical problems from traditional methods are sorted out by using a robust, high-selective and 75ArCl+ interference-free methodology. Chromatographic and detector optimization ensures low LOQs for each species with acceptable precision and accuracy values obtained using four urinary arsenic speciation PTS enabling to be useful for sub ng mL-1 arsenic exposure assessments.
