In recent years, radionuclide monitoring and contamination control have been attached great importance. Wide attention has been paid to the measurement and analysis of Neptunium (237Np) as one of the radio-nuclides. With the development of mass-spectrometry technique, the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique, with its outstanding advantage, has been widely applied to the measurement of237Np in environmental and biological samples. In this paper, the progress in analysis of237Np in environmental samples with ICP-MS technique is overviewed.

SummaryA robust and efficient interface between a capillary electrophoresis (CE) and an ICP-MS for actinide speciation studies was developed. This interface was made of two stainless steel T-shape pieces connected to the ICP-MS through a PFA-50 nebulizer. Fast separations (typically in less that 15 min) were obtained. The performances of the technique in terms of chemical separations carried out by the capillary electrophoresis and in terms of detection limits were investigated. Concerning the detection limit of the CE-ICP-MS system for plutonium, it was determined as 5 × 10

<p>The article demonstrates the importance of using a suitable approach to compensate for dead time relate count losses (a certain measurement artefact) whenever short, but potentially strong transient signals are to be analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Findings strongly support the theory that inadequate time resolution, and therefore insufficient compensation for these count losses, is one of the main reasons for size underestimation observed when analysing inorganic nanoparticles using ICP-MS, a topic still controversially discussed.</p>
