摘要
Pu isotopes in various foods were detected using a quadrupole ICPMS and Aridus II desolvation nebulizer. The method has ability to detect Pu-239 and Pu-240 at concentrations of similar to 52 pg/kg (0.12 Bq/kg) and similar to 9.5 pg/kg (0.08 Bq/kg) as well as Pu-240/Pu-239 ratio in < 8 h after receiving the samples. Foods were wet-ashed followed by DGA extraction for eliminating matrix, isobaric, and polyatomic interferences. A UH+ formation rate < 10(-5) and a 5-fold enhanced sensitivity for Pu was achieved after system optimization.
