“…The LOD of the present method (20 nmol dm -3 , i.e., 0.5 ppb) is about two orders of magnitude lower than that by ISE and solution spectrophotometry, methods which have been adopted as official methods for CN -(LODs about 1 to several μmol dm -3 ). 45,46 This performance is comparable to that of ESI-MS/MS (LOD, 40 nmol dm -3 ), 44 chemiluminescence (LOD, 0.1 ppb), 47 surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (LOD, about 1 ppb), 48 CE (LOD, 10 nmol dm -3 ), 49 gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) (LOD, 0.5 ppb), 50 IC with pulse amperometric detection (IC-PAD) (LOD, 1 ppb), 51 voltammetry (LOD, 14 nmol dm -3 ) 52 and amperometry (LOD, 0.05 to 0.12 ppb). 53 Full details on the performance of the afore-mentioned methods are available.…”
