Quadrupole mass spectrometer environmental applications

The mass spectrometric detection in this application is achieved by MS/MS using an ion trap mass spectrometer providing excellent selectivity and sensitivity for trace-level quantitation in environmental water samples. Alternatively a triple quadrupole system can be employed using a similar setup. Highest selectivity and lowest determination levels have been achieved also by using high-resolution mass spectrometer (De Boer et al, 2001 Krumwiede, 2006).
