Spectral interferences using Inorganic Mass Spectrometry

28 Mar 2013

Steuerwald et al., J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2013

Analysis of Human urine after administration of Gd-based MRI contrast agents

Administration of Gd-based MRI contrast agents causes major spectral interferences during analysis of selenium (Se) and platinum (Pt) in urine.

The finding was reported in a new study led by Amy Steuerwald who carried out an epidemiological study on 619 urine specimens to determine Se and Pt using quadruple-based inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS). Both Se and Pt were several orders of magnitude greater than the upper limit of the population reference ranges.

JAAS Issue 4 now online

14 Mar 2013

Kim et al., J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2013, 28, 460-467

The fourth issue of JAAS is now available online! Take a look at our two new covers and read all about the innovative research behind them. The outside front cover showcases the work of Sungho Jeong and his group from the Gwangju Institute of Technology in Korea. The researchers report the enhanced performance of LIBS measurement by using an air and argon (Ar) jet for the analysis of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin films.

Our colourful inside front cover gives a snapshot of a study from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. David Balslev-Clausen and colleagues propose a high performance alternative to routine laboratory mass spectrometry for isotopic geochemical analyses. In this work, they use a flash combustion Cavity Ring Down Spectrometer system to investigate ¹³C/¹²C of organic carbon in geological material, suggesting that laser based isotope techniques can be efficiently used in geochemistry.
