And further, the accuracy and precision of data in the sample measurement process are solved.
2) The problem of mercury remaining in the test instrument tubing is a major cause of poor accuracy and precision of data during the measurement of a sample. The invention combines gold, L-cysteine and mercury to form a stable complex, uses few reagents, is accurate and quick, so that mercury can not remain in a pipeline, excessive L-cysteine is masked by thioglycol, the excessive thioglycol does not influence the measurement of mercury, and the mercury measurement precision of ICP-MS is greatly improved. Meets the requirement that the standard of class I and class II water in GB 3838-2002 surface water environment quality standard is limited to 0.05 mug/L. And meanwhile, the mercury-containing sample with higher concentration can be measured.
3) The method can select a more convenient, accurate and quick digestion mode, and the digestion mode adopted by the solid sample or the liquid sample is only water bath heating or microwave heating at present, because the instability of mercury is determined, the two digestion modes are time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the operation is inconvenient.
4) The invention can provide better technical proposal for the related fields, solves some problems related to folk life, and can accurately measure mercury above 0.01PPb, which is not available for instruments such as atomic fluorescence.
