Evaluation of different analytical strategies for the quantification of sulfur-containing biomolecules by HPLC-ICP-MS: Application to the characterisation of 34S-labelled yeast

This paper evaluates different analytical strategies, such as Compound Independent Calibration (CIC), post-column Isotope Dilution Analysis (IDA) and post-column Isotope Pattern Deconvolution (IPD) for the determination of sulfur-containing biomolecules. CIC graphs were obtained for the sulfur-containing compounds sulfate, cysteine, glutathione and methionine separated by isocratic HPLC using four different ICP-MS instruments. Instruments evaluated included two quadrupole based instruments (XSeries II and HP-4500), with and without a collision cell respectively, one single collector double focusing (Element 2) and one multicollector double focusing (Neptune).
