The instruments enabling these analyses are the quadrupole time-of-flight liquid chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (LCMS-QTOF) (lovingly known as “Aggi”) and a gas chromatography micro-electron capture detector (GC-μECD). The inorganic compounds are analysed for single and multi-element analyses on the flame and/or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer (F/GF-AAS), as well as mercury on the flow injection mercury system (FIMS).
