Abstract

The technique of coupling liquid chromatography to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is reviewed. A brief introduction to the ICP-MS instrument is given as well as methods to couple the two analytical instruments together. The various types of LC that have been used with ICP-MS detection are discussed and advantages over traditional methods of detection are highlighted, such as the improvements in sensitivity and selectivity. Several applications that have been described in the literature are reviewed. An outlook for the future of LC–ICP-MS, particularly with regard to elemental speciation is given.
