Abstract:
In this work, the potential of inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) coupled to capillary electrophoresis (CE) to determine organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) is demonstrated. Element specific detection of 31 P with ICP‐MS is performed for the detection of OPPs. Three common OPPs, including glyphosate, glufosinate, and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), were analyzed by CE‐ICP‐MS to demonstrate its applicability for the analysis of OPPs. The advantages of using ICP‐MS with respect to other common detectors, such as flame photometric detection (FPD), for CE analysis of OPPs are shown. Additionally, different CE separation conditions were studied to achieve complete baseline separation of the pesticide compounds in short migration times. Two CE buffer systems were evaluated for the separation of OPPs using ICP‐MS detection. A buffer solution containing 40 mmol·L −1 ammonium acetate at pH 9.0 and an applied voltage of +20 kV were finally selected leading to a separation time of 10.0 min. Both migration time and area relative standard deviations (%RSD) were evaluated and their respective values were in the intervals of 1.1–3.3% and 2.7–5.3%. Detection limits obtained with the CE‐ICP‐MS system were in the range of 0.11–0.19 mg·L −1 (as compound) yielding an enhancement of 130‐ to 230‐fold with respect to FPD. The proposed methodology was finally applied for the determination of the OPPs mentioned above in natural river water samples.
