Due to its simplicity, speed and ability to obtain a particle number size distribution, single particle ICP-MS (spICP-MS) has emerged as an important tool for the analysis of nanoparticles (NPs). However, when NPs are suspended in a complex, unknown solution, matrix effects can occur affecting the instrument’s sensitivity. As a result, an over- or underestimation of the particle size is possible.
In this work, a proof-of-concept study of the combination of isotopic dilution analysis (IDA) and spICP-MS compensating for possible matrix effects is presented. As an example, an isotopically enriched 109Ag standard solution was added to silver NPs (Ag NP) suspensions. Different NP suspensions with mean particle diameters between 30 and 80 nm were chosen. The mixtures were analyzed using a quadrupole ICP-MS instrument. Both Ag isotopes (107Ag and 109Ag) were monitored during one experiment. The result show a good agreement with the diameters obtained using conventional spICP-MS.
In a second step, the Ag NPs were suspended in a simulated seawater matrix. Using conventional spICP-MS, a great reduction in the signal intensities and consequently in the particle sizes, was monitored. The application of the IDA-spICP-MS approach on these samples was able to obtain similar diameters compared to the samples without matrix.
