Can anyone tell me if it's possible to couple a Dionex Ion Chromatography - ED50A with an XSeries II ICP-MS (both second hand) for the purpose of determining As speciation in plant samples?
Mr. Lee,
In the context of your question, I would like to mention that adequate, precise, selective, sensitive and absolute determination of inorganics including quantitative and 3D structurally by ICP-MS or any soft ionization mass spectrometric method, currently world-wide can be carried out only by means of our own authored (mine and my co-author's contribution according to the authorship shown in next reference [1]) quantitative mass spectrometric stochastic dynamic method for absolute determining of experimental measurable variable 'intensity' of mass spectra and corresponding innovative model formulas connecting among the data on intensity with analyte concentration in solutiona nd other experimental factors, parameters and molecular properties.
Please, consider detail on application of our model equations to inorganics looking at reference [1]. The papers detailing on the theoretical background of our theory are cited accordingly, therein. There are listed application of our theory to study inorganics, metal-organics and small organics, respectively.

Of course, it is, we have also done a similar coupling a while ago (HPLC and ICP-MS). The problem is the supporting the coupling process with the software, ours was easy because we added an HPLC system to our existing icp-ms and they were both the same brand and there was software support, but I believe it is not the issue with yours(?). Still, you can work this around, first, you need to read your RTs for the species from the IC software (electrochemical detection) then according to the RT, you can read the total Arsenic signals from your ICP, and interpret the results.
