Summary: This study presents two fast and reliable separation methods for arsenic compounds. The recovery rate of both methods falls between 94% and 107%, and the accuracy was evaluated by analyzing proficiency samples. The detection limits in urine matrix for the two methods ranged from 2.8-6.0 ng L-1 As and 4.1-9.1 ng L-1 As, respectively.

Summary: This study proposes the use of nitrous oxide (N2O) as a non-corrosive and non-toxic alternative for calcium isotope analysis. Instrument performance testing shows that N2O can achieve equivalent detection limits and background concentrations compared to traditional gases. Further testing with synthetic standards highlights N2O's advantage in separating interferences from potassium and magnesium.

Summary: In this proof-of-principle study, a new data acquisition system with nanosecond time resolution (nanoDAQ) and a matching data processing approach were developed for single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS). The system can detect gold nanoparticles as small as 7.5 nm and acquire a statistically significant number of data points in a short time.

Summary: In this study, hydrodynamic chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to simultaneously determine dissolved and nanoparticulate species of gold and silver, with optimized mobile phase for resolution and recovery. The developed methods allowed for quick and accurate detection of nanoparticulate and dissolved species of gold and silver in dietary supplements, showing good agreement with other analysis methods. Due to achievable resolution, the quality of quantitative results is influenced by the relative abundance and size of nanoparticles present.

Summary: Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to measure the size of individual nanoparticles. Two calibration approaches, particle size standard and ion standard solution, were evaluated for their uncertainties in size analysis. The relative uncertainties for 50 nm silver nanoparticles using particle size standards of 30 nm, 60 nm, and 100 nm were 15.0%, 9.9%, and 10.8% respectively. For the ion standard solution approach, the relative uncertainties for the 50 nm silver nanoparticles in solutions of 1 ng/g, 10 ng/g, and 100 ng/g were 18.5%, 7.6%, and 4.7% respectively. A high concentration working standard solution is recommended to improve precision on particle size determinations by spICP-MS.

Summary: A method using ICP-MS was developed and validated to analyze the elemental composition of urucum seeds. It was found that elements such as Ca, Mg, and K were present in higher levels, while elements like Al, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, and Zn were present in lower concentrations. Statistical analysis revealed correlations between certain elements and the uneven distribution of Mo in the samples, potentially caused by soil treatment. This study provides useful information for future research on nutritional composition and farming procedures.

Summary: The objective of this study was to compare the impact of single-dose and multi-dose iodinated contrast media (ICM) delivery systems on ICM waste, plastic waste, and associated financial costs. The results showed that the multi-dose ICM delivery system significantly reduced waste of ICM and plastic, and generated substantial financial savings at the institution.
