The Intertek Sunbury Technical Centre provides advanced GC-ICP-MS & LC-ICP-MS analysis. GC/ICP/MS offers the capability to separate and quantitatively measure ultra-trace levels of organo-metallic compounds. 

The GC/ICP/MS allows lower limits of detection for metal analysis and sulphur and mercury speciation in crude oils and oil products. In conjunction with the LC/ICP/MS, the capability for the analysis of water samples is significantly enhanced. GC/ICP/MS provides a powerful laboratory technique for analyses with the capability to separate and quantitate ultra-trace levels of organo-metallic compounds.

What is GC/ICP/MS:

A GC/ICP/MS combines three analytical tools, Gas Chromatography, Inductively Coupled Plasma and Mass Spectrometry, into one integrated system. 

Advantages of GC/ICP/MS:

• Detection limit: ~50 ng/g, 50 ppb is several orders of magnitude lower than rival detectors.
• Speciation of sulphur: compound independent calibration (the sulphur response factor for any compound can be determined from a singe compound), stability and robustness.
• Sensitivity towards a specific element (eg, sulphur) is virtually unaffected by large quantities of other components present in the matrix.

Applications forGC/ICP/MS:

• Sulphur speciation
• Mercury speciation
• Trace metal analysis in water
• Determination of organometallic species
• Determination of phosphorus containing pesticides
• Determination of sulphur containing pesticides
• Mercury Speciation in Refinery Products and Feedstocks

High Sample Throughput Capability: The GC-ICP-MS system is equipped with a high sample throughput auto sampler. 100 samples can be processed using 100 different methods. The unique software controls both the GC and the ICP-MS preventing miscommunication between both machines.
