ANALYTICAL TESTING OF THE INTERFERENCE STANDARD METHOD (IFS) FOR METALS IN WINES BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA MASS SPECTROMETRY

An analytical testing study of interference standard method (IFS) for metals in wines with low and high residual sugar by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was evaluated.

Description
Summary:An analytical testing study of interference standard method (IFS) for metals in wines with low and high residual sugar by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was evaluated. Selection of IFS probes was based on the ions formed in the argon plasma, such as natural 38Ar+ or contaminant like 83Kr+ or also ions provided from the matrix sample (for instance, 13C+). The analytical signal was obtained from ratio between the original signals of the analyte and those of the IFS probe species. The accuracy was confirmed using a t-test statistic for comparison between the concentrations obtained by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) and ICP-MS. In a first study, the IFS effect was analyzed by comparing the correlation coefficients obtained with or without dividing the analytical signal by the IFS. Using the 83Kr+ IFS probe provide always better results in the determination of Fe, Mn and Zn compared to 13C+ and 38Ar+.
