Lowering the detection limit for arsenic: Implications for a future practical quantitation limit

Janet Gordon Hering

The practical quantitation limit (PCIL) for arsenic (As) is currently orders of magnitude higher than its nonenforceable, health-based standard in California. Analytical limitations caused by chloride (CO interference can be overcome using high-resolution, ...

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrated amino acids in the gas phase: protonated and lithiated valine

Thomas Rizzo, Rainer Beck, Sébastien Mercier, Evan Rowland Williams

We report here infrared spectra of protonated and lithiated valine with varying degrees of hydration in the gas phase and interpret them with the help of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31++G** level. In both the protonated and lithiated species, our resul ...
