| Abstract |
Particle beam liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was evaluated for the measurement of acid herbicides. An acetic acid/ammonium acetate/methanol solvent system with a C-8 reversed phase column gave baseline resolution of all target analytes. Detection limits in the full scan mode were 100 ng to 500 ng for most of the target analytes. Dalapon and dinoseb were not detected. Response curves over the range 200 microg to 2000 microg were non-linear for most of the analytes. Response factors tended to increase with increasing analyte concentration. Mass spectra were variable and exhibited abundant ions corresponding to 'thermal' decomposition mechanisms. Spectral appearance was dependent on analyte concentration, source conditions, and source temperature. Only spectra acquired at high concentration were library matchable. Therefore, a rugged and reliable method to identify and quantify acid herbicides in environmental samples based on particle beam LC/MS technology does not appear feasible at this time. |
