IC-ICP/MS Analysis of Trace Chromate

By dedicating themselves to the problem, academics and analytical chemistry experts have delivered a creative, practical and incredibly effective approach to chromium analysis that doesn’t sacrifice selectivity or sensitivity. Since chromium can exist in two forms, with one of them highly toxic, separation of the different chromium species is a critical first step in the analysis followed by use of an optimal detector.

In this webinar, we will hear from Chris LeValley, chemistry major and research contributor at the University of Wisconsin Parkside, on how he combined IC with ICP-MS to develop a robust and sensitive method for determination of chromium (VI) and chromium (III) in tap water. In addition to understanding how to run the hyphenated system, he’ll also share information regarding detection limits, spike & recovery results and system stability. A basic overview of IC and ICP/MS will be given, with an emphasis on how the two techniques complement each other.

You will also hear from and get the chance to interact with a panel of additional experts who will be ready to answer your questions during the live Q&A session.

Plan to attend if you:

• Are interested in learning more about IC-ICP/MS and its capabilities.

• Are interested in learning how IC and ICP-MS instruments can work together to complement each other.

• Work in the environmental testing industry.

Key learning points:

• Develop an understanding of how IC and ICP-MS can complement each other to provide enhanced selectivity and sensitivity.

• Learn how IC-ICP/MS is an optimal technique for speciating low levels of chromium(VI) and chromium (III) in drinking water.

Presenter: Christopher LeValley (Student and Researcher, University of Wisconsin-Parkside)

Christopher LeValley is a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside where he's involved in the finishing touches on the data for tap water analysis, as well as the bulk of data of several bottled waters, apple juice and orange juice. Chris is seeking an undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Professional Chemistry and Criminal Justice, with a certificate in green chemistry and is currently an intern at PPG. His experience involves sample preparation and operating for IC-ICPMS, focusing on the analysis of trivalent and hexavalent chromium in different beverages.
