Determination of chlorate and perchlorate in food
1 Scope
This method specifies the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
for the determination of chlorate and perchlorate content in food.
This method is applicable to the determination of chlorate and perchlorate in
packaged drinking water, liquid milk, rice, carrots, cantaloupe, pork, fish, tea,
infant formula milk powder (excluding infant formula milk powder for special
medical purposes).
2 Principle
After the specimen is extracted and centrifuged, use a solid-phase extraction
column to purify the supernatant; USE liquid chromatography-tandem mass
spectrometry to determine; USE the internal standard method to quantify.

dilute and make up the volume to 10 mL, as the mixed standard working

ng/mL, 5.00 ng/mL, 10.0 ng/mL, 15.0 ng/mL, 20.0 ng/mL, 50.0 ng/mL, 100
ng/mL, 150 ng/mL, 200 ng/mL. In turn, the perchlorate concentration is: 0.00
ng/mL, 1.00 ng/mL, 2.50 ng/mL, 5.00 ng/mL, 7.50 ng/mL, 10.0 ng/mL, 25.0
ng/mL, 50.0 ng/mL, 75.0 ng/mL, 100 ng/mL. The concentrations of chlorate-
18O3 and perchlorate-18O4 in the mixed standard working solution are 15.0
ng/mL and 2.0 ng/mL, respectively. Or prepare a mixed standard working
solution of appropriate concentration as required. Prepare at the time of use.
