Abstract
A technique for the analysis of microliter volumes of solution by glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) has been successfully demonstrated. Cathode preparation involves mixing an aliquot of the sample solution with a pure conducting powder, followed by drying and pressing before conventional GDMS analysis. The analyte signal at the 100-ppm level was observed to be stable to better than 5% for the duration of the analysis (30–45 min). Internal and external reproducibilities were better than 5%, and the ion signal intensity was linear with concentration over at least four orders of magnitude. Quantification was demonstrated by means of user-defined relative sensitivity factors. Relative standard deviations were better than 15% for the elements investigated, with no preconcentration of the analyte.
