Abstract
This work proposed a novel method to determine trace levels of Cd in tumorous stem mustard (TSM) using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS). In the MS/MS mode, N2O was used as a reaction gas to eliminate spectral interference and optimize the analysis conditions. The accuracy and precision of the proposed method were evaluated by analysis of spinach leaves (SRM 1570a) as standard reference material and by comparing the obtained results with those achieved using sector field ICP-MS (SF-ICP-MS). The limit of detection (LOD) of Cd was in the range of 0.83–5.64 ng L−1, and the LOD of 114Cd with the highest sensitivity was as low as 1.28 ng L−1. At a 95 % confidence level, no significant differences were found between the results obtained via this method and SF-ICP-MS (p > 0.05), with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.4 %–2.5 %. The experimental results indicate that the developed method exhibits high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability, making it suitable for interference-free detection of trace Cd in TSM.
