Straightforward determination over a wide concentration range with the scTRACE Gold

锌是人体必需的微量元素。然而，摄入过量高浓度的锌可能有害。世界卫生组织的 “饮用水水质指南 ”中并没有规定锌的指导值，因为饮用水中的典型含量并不令人担忧。 在测定饮用水中的锌含量时，阳极剥离伏安法是原子吸收光谱法（AAS）的一种可行的、不太复杂的替代方法。原子吸收光谱法（以及其他竞争方法）只能在实验室中进行，而阳极剥离伏安法测定可在实验室中常规使用，也可使用 946 便携式重金属快速分析仪在现场进行。测定在 scTRACE 金电极上进行。

At zinc concentrations above 3 mg/L, the quality of drinking water deteriorates, and an undesirable astringent taste is detectable. No health-based guideline value is required for zinc as it is an essential trace element for humans. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has set a maximum concentration of 5 mg/L as the limit value of Zn in drinking water.

The anodic stripping voltammetric method with an overall determination time of less than10 minutes is fast, very sensitive, and can be applied for a wide range of concentrations. Without applying any deposition time, the limit of detection is around 1 μg/L. This value can be lowered further when the deposition time is increased. When a reductive determination is carried out, the linear range of the method can be extended to 1.5 mg/L. The excellent performance of the method is due to the unique design and architecture of the scTRACE Gold electrode. This sensor does not require extensive maintenance such as mechanical polishing. Measurements can be performed in the laboratory or alternatively in the field. This method is suited for manual and automated systems.

Drinking water, mineral water

Figure 1. 946 Portable VA Analyzer

The water sample and the supporting electrolyte are pipetted into the measuring vessel. The determination of zinc is carried out with the 884 Professional VA or with the 946 Portable VA Analyzer using the parameters specified in Table 1. The concentration is determined by two additions of a zinc standard addition solution.

The scTRACE Gold is electrochemically activated prior to the first determination.

Without deposition time, this method is suitable for the determination of zinc in water samples in concentrations from β(Zn) = 1–50 μg/L.
