The performance of conventional and low-flow nebulizer systems with liquid chromatography in differentiating four arsenic species in urine was evaluated. Two low-flow (DIN and MCN) chamber assemblies and a conventional (CFN) nebulizer-spray chamber assembly were compared in the hyphenation of anion-exchange microbore liquid chromatography with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Under optimal analytical conditions, the detection limits of the four arsenic species were 0.2-0.6 ng ml(-1) for all the nebulizer systems tested. The chromatographic resolution was best in the case of DIN due to its minimal off-column dead volume and superior transport efficiency. Four arsenic species were determined in the certified reference materials NIST SRM 2670E and 2670N. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
