Agilent Determination of Methyl Mercury in Water Soil by HPLC-ICP-MS

Update: 28 September, 2023

This application note describes a method based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the separation and determination of methyl and ethyl mercury. Because the different chemical forms of mercury exhibit different toxicities, separating elemental mercury from the alkylated forms provides vital information on the actual risk posed by a sample. The HPLC-ICP-MS method is applied to the analysis of water and soil samples. The method detection limits in water for MeHg, EtHg, and Hg2+ are better than 10 ng/L, and recoveries between 80% and 120% were obtained for the Hg species extracted from the soil samples.
