The potential for developing improved procedures for phosphate measurement through combinations of gel electrophoresis and quadrupole-based ICP mass spectrometry utilising (PO+)-P-47 is investigated. Laser ablation of gels offers a rapid and direct quantitation route, but is subject to high blanks due to P impurities in gels and associated reagents; nevertheless optimisation of laser sampling afforded improved method sensitivity (limit of detection 0.09 mu g g(-1)). Implementation of whole gel elution (WGE) with FI-ICP-MS (conventional solution nebulisation) following gel electrophoresis permitted quantitation at the sub mu g 1(-1) level, and micro-column processing (activated alumina) was effective at rejecting phosphate contamination. The potential for S-induced molecular ion interference at mass 47 was demonstrated.
