    Abstract:
    Capillary electrophoretic analyses benefit significantly from hyphenation to mass spectrometric techniques. While the coupling to ESI-MS is routinely performed, for example by using a coaxial sheath-flow interface, hyphenating it to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is more technically challenging. We use a commercially available coaxial sheath-flow interface (CSFI) and a simple PTFE-based end-cap for easy, inexpensive CE-ICP-MS hyphenation with improved sensitivity and analytical performance compared to commercially available interfaces. We have optimized key nebulizer parameters such as capillary position, sheath liquid flow rate, and carrier gas flow rate, and compared the CSFI with a commercially available interface. In a set of proof-of-principle experiments employing the anticancer agent cisplatin it was demonstrated that the signal to noise response and sensitivity were considerably improved leading to detection limits for 195Pt of 0.08 μM.
