This study was conducted in compliance with United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations 21 CFR Part 58, with the exceptions in the bulleted list below.
Exceptions to GLP compliance:
0 There were two study directors in this study. 'This study was designed as two
separate studies. The in-life phase was considered to end upon weaning of F2
pups and shipment of analytical specimens. The analytical study was considered to start at the receipt of these specimens for analysis. This resulted in having two separate study directors, one for each phase of the same study. However, since
the technical performanceof each phase was entirely separate, no effect is
expected from this exception.
No expiration date on reagents/solutions labels.
Sample storage stability was not determined,
0 Some analytical reference materials have not been completely characterized.
QAU did not perform an in-phase inspectionduring the study.

Introduction and Purpose
The purpose of the analytical study is to quantify levels of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, and EtFOSE-OH in sera samples and liver samples collected from rats exposed to N-EtFOSE-OH. This study was initiated on 30 September 1998.
Test System Nineteen presumed pregnant female rats were assigned to each of five dosage groups (Groups 1 through V). Table 1 outlines the dosage levels and the nurnber of rats per group designated for
collection of analytical samples for Argus In-life study 418-011.
The test system species and strain selected was the Crl:CD@BRVAF/PIUS@(Sprague-Dawley) rat received from Charles River Laboratories, Inc., permanently identified using a Monel@selfpiercing ear tag.

Specimen Collection and Analysis
Sample specimens were collected from Argus (study 418-011) and sent to the 3M Environmental Laboratory for analysis. Liver, sera, fetal, and placental specimens were collected from female rats on day 18 of presumed gestation. Although fetal and placenta specimens were collected, results from these analyses will not be included in this report. A separate report may be issued for fetal tissue data. The number and type of specimens collected for analyses in the analytical phase of this study are presented below.
Specimens Collected from Study Groups I through V: Serum Specimens-I 9 specimens Liver Specimens-I9 specimens Fetuses-I 9 specimens Placentas-I 9 specimens
Blood specimens were centrifuged after collection. Serum was then harvested and immediately frozen on dry ice and maintained frozen at -70C until shipped to the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Liver specimens collected from each animal were excised, weighed, and a sample section (lateral lobe) was frozen and retained at -70C until shipped to the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Fetuses and placenta were pooled per litter and retained frozen at-70C until shipment to the 3M Environmental Laboratory. The specimens were shlipped to the 3M Environmental Laboratory frozen and on dry ice.

Analytical Report: FACT TOX-098 LRN-U2402
Sera and liver samples were extracted beginning on 30 September 1998 using an ion pairing reagent and either ethyl acetate or methyl-tert-butyl ether (MtBE). Liver samples were homogenized prior to the extraction procedure. Sample extracts were analyzed using highpressure liquid chromatography-electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESMSMS) by multiple reaction monitoring. PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, and EtFOSE-OH levels were quantitated by external calibration. Analytical details are included in this report.
Specimen Receipt and Maintenance
The 3M Environmental Laboratory received serum, liver, fetus, and placenta specimens collected at the end of the in-life phase of Argus study 418-011 on SI-15-98and !3-18-98 from Argus. All specimens were received frozen on dry ice and were immediately transferred to storage at -20C *IO"C.
Control matrices used in liver and sera analyses performed during TOX-098 were obtained from commercial sources and are presented in Appendix A. Samples analyzed at the 3M Environmental Laboratory will be maintained for a period of 10 years and will be stored at the laboratory at -20C k1O"C.

0 Linearity: The coefficient of determination (rz)equal to or greater than 0.980
Acceptable Spike Recoveries: 70-130%
Data Summary, Analyses, and Results
Data quality objectives for the analytical phase of this study outlined in the 3M Environmental Laboratory Methods ETS-8-5.1 and ETS-8-7.0 (see Appendix C) were met with the exceptions noted in this report.
Summary of Quality Control Analyses Results
Linearity: The coefficient of determination (r2)of the standard curve was 10.980.
Calibration Standards: Quantitationof the target analytes was based on linear regression analysis l / x weighted of an opening extracted curve or two extracted matrix curves bracketing each group of samples. High or low points on the curve may have been deactivated to provide a better linear fit over the curve range most appropriate to the data. Low curve points with peak areas less than two times that of the extraction blanks were deactivated to disqualify a data range that may have been significantly affected by background levels of the analyte. Occasionally, a single mid-range curve point that was an obvious outlier may have been deactivated. Quantitation of each analyte was based on the response of one or more specific product ion(s) using the multiple response-monitoring mode of the instrument (see Appendix C, Analytical Methods).
Limits of Quantitation (LOQ): The LOQ is equal to the lowest acc.eptablestandard in the calibration curve (defined as a standard within *30% of the theoretical value), and is at least two times the analyte peak area detected in the extraction blanks.

Blanks: All blanks were below the lower limit of quantitation for the quantitative analysis of compounds of interest. Although the matrix blanks were clean, some liver data for GI-G3 should be considered qualitative, as these samples may have been affected by background levels of the analyte found in the method blanks; specific data points affected are noted in the results table. To simplify analyses that were complicated by endogenous levels of fluorochemicals in unexposed rat sera and liver, rabbit sera and liver were selected as a suitable surrogate matrices.
Precision: Precisionwas not specifically determined within this study, but has been
characterized to be better than *30% for this method.
Matrix Spikes: Matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates were extracted with each set of sera and liver samples and analyzed during analytical runs at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Rat sera and liver from control animals were spiked prior to extraction. All target analytes were spiked at approximately 250 ng/mL or 250 ng/g. Sera matrix spikes for PFOSAA and EtFOSE-OH were within *30% of the theoretical concentration. One matrix
spike for PFOS and one for PFOSA were outside of this range (152% and 149%,
respectively). The average spike recovery for PFOS in sera was 137% and for PFOSA it was 126%. Matrix spikes prepared in liver (PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, arid EtFOSE-OH) were compliant within *30% for all analytes.
Surrogates: The surrogate (THPFOS) was added to all samples and standards. THPFOS was not used for quantitation, but was used to monitor for gross instrument failure.
Statement of Data Quality
It is not possible to verify true recovery of endogenous analyte from tissues without radio-labeled reference material. The only measurement of accuracy available at this time, matrix spike studies, indicate that the data are quantitative to *40%.
Summary of Sample Results
Some PFOS results (those obtained using lot # 171) have been corrected for purity of the analytical reference material. Uncorrected results are noted in the data tables.
Samples from Control Animals: Low levels of PFOS were detected in the liver of the control animals. These levels were significantly lower than those found in the low dose test animals.

Samples from Dosed Animals: In general, levels of the target analytes present in the sera and liver of the test animals increased with dose group. Detailed sample data tables are presented in Appendices D and E.
~~
Statistical Methods and Calculations
Statistical methods were limited to the calculation of means and standard deviations. See Appendix F for example calculations used to generate the liver and serum sample data in FACT TOX-098.
Statement of Conclusion
Under the conditions of the oral development toxicity of N-EtFOSE, PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, and EtFOSE-OH were observed in the sera and liver of pregnant rats dosed with N-EtFOSE-OH during the in-life phase of the study.

Tissues from animals dosed as described in Argus Research Laboratoria Protocol #418-011will be received for analysis of fluorochemicals. Mated female rats were dosed on Day 6 of presumed gestation,with administration continuing through Day 17. At Day 18, serum and liver samples, as well as fetus and placenta samples, were taken from rats in the toxicokinetic portion of the study. At Day 20 for the rats remainingin the study.,samples of s t m and liver were
taken, as well as fetus and placenta.
Dosage samples willbe provided from Argus Research Laboratories for concentrationlevel
confirmation. These samples will not be extracted and analyzed according to GLP regulations. The data collectedwill be providedto the Sponsor as an attachmentto the datapackage.
At the discretion of the Study Director, a series of andytical tests will be performed on select tissues. Initially, all liver and serum samples will be analy:zed, using the methods listed in section 5.0, for PFOS by Electrospray/massspectrometry(WMS). On rhe basis of findings from these analyses, additionalsamples may be evaluated. If additionalanalysis is performed, a protocol amendment will be written to add the matrices and methods to the protocol.
At the discretion of the Study Director, select analysis may be performed by a contract laboratorywhere competencehas been demonstrated,using validated anidytical methods.

2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 This method describes the procedure for extracting potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS)or other ffuorochemicals from serum, blood, or milk curd using an ion pairing
reagent and 5.0 ml of ethyl acetate. In this method, seven fluorochemicals were
extracted PFOS,PFOSA,PFOSAA,EtFOSE-OH,POAA,PFOSEA,and FC-807
monoester (see 3.0 Definitions). An ion pairing reagent is added to the sample and the analyte ion pair is partitioned into ethyl acetate. Four ml of extract are removed and put onto a nitrogen evaporator until dry. Each extract is reconstituted in 1.Oml of methanol, then filtered through a 3 cc plastic syringe attached to a 0.2 pni nylon filter into glass autovials.

This is necessary if the analyst must quantitate using only the low end of the calibration curve (for example, 5 ppb - 100ppb, rather than
5 ppb - 1000ppb).
11.0 CALIBRATTONAND STANDARDIZATION
11.1 Prepare matrix calibration standards
Note: Blood coagulates in air, therefore, minimize air contact until dilution. At this point, add TBA and buffer to each centrifugetube as in step 12.9, then add 1.0 mL of the diluted matrix sample to each tube.
11.1.1 Transfer1 mL of serum or 1mL ofblood (blood is diluted 1:l with Milli-Qm water)to a 15mL centrifugetube. The b loodis similar in compositionto milk curd and can be used in place of milk curd for standard curves when extracting that matrix.
11.1.2 If most sample volumes are less than 1.0 mL, extract standards with matrix volumes equal to the sample volumes. Do not extract below 0.50 mL of matrix. Record the sample volume on the extraction sheet.
11.1.3 While preparing a total of twenty aliquotsin 15mlcea%rifuge tubes, mix or shake
between aliquots.
11.1.4 Two 1mL, aliquots,or other appropriate770lume, serve as matrix blanks.
Typically use the standard concentrations and spiking amounts listed in Table 1, at the end of this section, to spike, in duplicate, two standard curves, for a total of eighteen standards and two matrix blanks.
11.1.5 Refer to validation reportsFACT-M-3.1-V-1and FACT-M-4.1-V-1,which list the working ranges and the Linear Calibration Range (LCR) for calibration curves.
11.1.6 Use Attachment D as an aidincalculatingthe concentrations ofthe working
standards. See Section 13.0 to calculateactual concentrationsof PFOS in
calibration standards.
11.2 To each standard, blank, or QC check, add appropriate amount of surrogateworking standard for the concentrationto fall withinthe calibrationcurverange 5 ppb -1000 ppb.
11.3 Extract spiked matrix standards following 12.6-12.16 of this method. Use these standards , to establish each initial curve on the mass spectrometer.

9.0 SAMPLEHANDLING 9.1 All samples are received fi-ozenand must be kept h z e n until the extractionis performed. 9.2 Allow samples to thaw to room temperature prior to extraction.
10.0 OUALITYCONTROL
10.1 Solvent Blanks, Method blanks and matrix blanks
10.1.1 An aliquot of 1.0 mL methanol is used as a solvent blank.
10.1.2 Extract two 1.0 mL aliquots of MilG-QT" water following this procedure and use as method blanks.
10.1.3 Extract two 1.0 mL aliquots of the serum following this procedure and use as matrix blanks. See 11.1.4.
10.2 Matrix spikes
10.2.1 Prepare and analyze matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples to determine the accuracy of the extraction.
10.2.2 Prepare each spike using a simple chosen by the analyst, usually the control matrix received with each sample set.
10.2.3 Expected concentrationswill fall in the mid-range of the initial calibration curve. Additional spikes may be included and may fall in the low-range of the initial calibration curve.
10.2.4 Prepare one matrix spike and matrix spik.e duplicate pea 40 samples, with a minimum of 2 matrix spikes per batch.
10.3 Continuing calibration checks

10.3.4
The expected concentrationswill fall within the mid-range of the initial
calibration curve. Additional spikes may be included that fall in the low-range of the initial calibration curve. This is necessary if the anidyst must quantitate using only the low end of the calibrationcurve ([forexample, 5 ppb - 100ppb, rather
than
5 ppb - 1000 ppb).
11.o CALIBRATlONAND STANDARDIZATION
11.1 Prepare matrix calibration standards
11.1.1 Transfer 1mL of serum to a 15mT,centrifugetube.
11.1.2 Ifmost samplevolumes are less than 1.0 mL, extract standardswith matrix volumes equal to the sample volumes. Do not extract less than 0.50 mL of matrix. Record each sample volume on the extraction sheet.
11.1.3 While preparing a total of twenty aliquots in 15mI,centrifugetubes, mix or shake between aliquots.
11.1.4 Two 1mL aliquots, or other appropri'ate volume, serve as matrix blanks.
Typically use the standardconcentratiomi and spiking amounts listed in Table 1,
at the end of this section, to spike, in duplicate, two standard curves, for a total of eighteen standards, two matrix blanks, arid two method blanks.
11.1.5 Refer to validation report ETS-8-4.0 & ETS-8-5.0-V-I, which lists the working
ranges and the Linear CalibrationRange (LCR)for calibrationc w e s .
11.1.6 Use AttachmentD as an aid in calculatingthe concentrations of the working standards. See Section13.0 to calculate actual concentrations of PFOS in calibration standards.
11.2 To each standard, blank, or continuingcheck, add appropriateamount of surrogate
working standard for the concentrationto fall within the calibrationcurve range 5 ppb -
1000 ppb.
113 Extract spiked matrix standards following 12.6-112.16 of this method. Use these standards to establish each initial curve on the mass spectrometer.

2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 This method describes the analysis of fluorochemical surfactants extracted from serum, whole blood, or milk curd using HFLC-electrospray/massspectrometry,or similar system as appropriate. The analysis is performed by monitoring a single ion characteristic of a particular fluorochemical, such as the potassium pedluorooctanesulfonate(PFOS) anion, WZ= 499. Samplesmay also be analyzed using an .4pI/MS/MSsystem to further verify compound identification.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (MI): The Micronlassplatform systems allow for various methods of ionization by utilizing various sources, probes, and interfaces. These include but are not limited to: Electrospray Ionization (ESI), Atmospheric Pressure chemical Ionization (APcI), Thermospray,etc. The ionizationprocess in these techniques occurs at atmospheric pressure (i.e. not under a vacuum).
3.2 Electrospray Ionization (ES, ESI): a method of ionizationperformed at atmospheric pressure, whereby ionizationoccurs through the production of tiny charged droplets in a
strong electrical field.
3.3 Mass Spectrometry, Mass Spectrometer(M),Tandem Mass Spectrometer( M S M S ) : The A P I platforms are equippedwith quadrupole mass selectivedetectors. Ionsare
selectivelydiscriminatedby mass to charge ratio ( d z ) and subsequently detected. A single MS may be employed for ion detection or a series (MS/MS) for more specific fiagmentation information.
3.4 Conventional vs. %spray probe interface: The latest models of Micromass platform systems (post 1998) utilize a "2-spi-a~c'o~nformation. The spray emitted fiom a probe is orthogonal to the cone aperture. In the conventional conformation it is aimed directly at the cone aperture, after passing through a tortuous pathway in the counter electrode. Though the configuration is different, the methods of operation, cleaning, and maintenance are the same. However, Z-spray components and conventional components are not compatible with one another, but only with similarsystems (i.e. Z-spray Components are compatiblewith other Z -
spray systems, etc.)
3.5 Mass Lynx Software: System software designed for the specific operationof these platform systems. Currently MassLynx has Windows 95 and WindowsNT 3.1 versions. All versions are similar. For more details see the manual specific to the instrument (Micromass Platform 11or Quattro 11MassLynx or MassLynx NT USER'S GUIDE).
4.0 WARNINGASND CAUTIONS 4.1 Health and Safety Warnings:
4.1.1 Use caution with the voltage cables for the probe. The probe employs a voltage of approximately 5000 Volts.
4.1.2 When handling samples or solvents wear appropriate protective gloves, eyewear, and clothing.

10.0 OUALITY CONTROL 10.1 Method Blanks and Matrix Blanks
10.1.1 Analyze a method blank and a matrix blank prior to each calibration curve.
10.2 Matrix Spikes
10.2.1 Analyze a matrix spikeand matrix spike duplicate per forty samples. With a minimm of 2 spikes per batch.
10.2.2 Expected spike concentrations will fall in the mid-range of the initial calibration curve. Additional spike concentrationsmay fall in the low-range of the initial calibration curve.
10.2.3 See Section 13 to calculate percent recovery.
10.3 Continuing Calibration Checks
10.3.1 Analyze a mid-range calibration standard after every tenth sample. If a significant change (*30%) in peak area occurs, relative to the initial standardcurve, stop the run. Only those samples analyzed before the last acceptable calibration standard will be used. The remaining samples must be reanalyzed.
10.3.2 See Section 13 to calculate percent difference.
11.0 CALIBRATIOANND STANDARDIZATION
11.1 Analyze the extracted matrix standards prior to and rollowing each set of extracts. The mean of two standard values, at each standard concentration, will be plotted by linear regression (?)for the calibration curve using MassLynx or other slfitable software.
11.2 The 2value for the data should be 0.980 or greater. Lower values may be acceptable at the
discretion of the analyst and documented approval of the Project Lead.
11.3 If the curve does not meet requirements,performroutine maintenance or reextract the standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
11.4 For purposes of accuracy when quantitating low levssls of analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end of the calibration curve rather thanthe full range of the standard curve. Example: when attempting to quantitate approximately 10ppb of'analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting of the standards h m 5 ppb to 100ppb rather than the full
range of the curve (5 ppb to 1000ppb). This will reduce inaccuracy attributed to linear regression weighting of high concentration standards.

2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 Thismethod describes the analysis of fluomchemical surfactants extracted from serum or other fluids,using HPLC-electrospray/mass spectrometry, or similar system as appropriate. The analysis is performed by monitoring a single ion characteristic of a particular fluorochemical, such as the perfluorooctanesulfonate(PFOS)anion, dz=499. Additionally, samples may be analyzed using a tandem mass spectrometerto furtherverify the identity of a compound by detecting daughter ions of the parent ion.
3.0 DEFIMTIONS
3.1 Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API): The Micromass Quattro IItriple quadrupole
systems allow for various methods of ionization by utilizing various sources, probes, and interfaces. These include but are not limited to: Electrospray Ionization (ESI), Atmospheric Pressure chemical Ionization (APcI), Thermospray, etc. The ionization process in these techniques occurs at atmospheric pressure (i.e., not under a vacuum).
3.2 Electrospray Ionization (ES,ESI): a method of ionization performed at atmospheric
pressure' whereby ions in solution are transferred to Ihe gas phase via tiny charged droplets. These charged droplets are produced by the application of a strong,electricalfield..
3.3 Mass Spectrometry, Mass Spectrometer(MS), Tandem Mass Spectrometer( M S M S ) :
The API Quattro II triple quadrupole systems are equipped with quadrupole mass selective detectors. Ions are selectively discriminated by mass to charge ratio ( d z )and subsequently
detected. A single MS may be employed for ion detection or a series ( M S / M S ) for more specific hgmentation information.
3.4 Conventional vs. Zspray probe interface: The latest models of Micromass Quattro 11 triple quadrupole systems (post 1998)utilize a "Z-spray" conformation. The spray emitted from a probe is orthogonal to the cone aperture. In the conventional conformation it is aimed directly at the cone aperture, a.ferpassing through a tortuous pathway in the counter . electrode. Though the configuration is different, the methods of operation, cleaning, and maintenance are the same. However, Z-spray components and conventional components are not compatible with one another, but only with similar systems (is., Z-spraycomponentsare compatible with some other Z-spray systems, etc.)
3.5 Mass Lynx Software: System software designed fcir the specific operation of these Quattro
II triple quadrupole systems. Currently MassLynx has Windows 95 and WindowsNT 4.0
versions. All versions are similar. For more details see the manual specific to the instrument
(Micromass Quattro IItriple quadrupoleMassLynx or MassLynxNT User'sGuide).
4.0 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
4.1 Health and Safety Warnings:
4.1.1 Use caution with the voltage cables for the probe. When engaged, the probe employs a voltage of approximately 5000 Volts.
4.1.2 When handling samples or solvents wear appropriate protective gloves, eyewear, and clothing.

4.2 Cautions:
4.2.1 Do not operate solvent pumps above capacj.ty of 400 bar (5800 psi) back pressure. If the back pressure exceeds 400 bar, the HP1100 will initiate automatic shutdown.
4.2.2 Do not run solvent pumps to dryness.
5.0 INTERFERENCES
5.1 To minimize interferences when analyzing samples, teflon should not be used for sample
storage or any part of idrumentation that comes i n contact withthe sample or extract.

9.2 If analysis will be delayed, extracted standards and samples can be refiigerated at approximately 4" C, or at room temperature, until analysis can be performed.
10.0 OUALITYCONTROL
10.1 Solvent Blanks, Method Blanks and Matrix Blanks
10.1.1 Solvent blanks, method blanks and matrix lblanks are prepared and analyzed with
each batch to determine contaminationor carryover.
10.1.2 Analyze a method blank and a matrix blanlc prior to each calibration curve.
10.2 Matrix Spikes
10.2.1 Matrix spikes are prepared and analyzedto determine the matrix effect on the recovery efficiency.
10.2.2 Matrix spike duplicates are prepared and analyzed to measure the precision and the recovery for each analyte.
10.2.3 Analyze a matrix spike and matrix spike duplicateper forty samples,with a minimum of 2 spikes per batch.
10.2.4 Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicatecancentrationswill fall in the mid-range of the initial calibration curve. Additional spike concentrationsmay fall in the lowrange of the initial calibration curve.
10.3 C o n t h i n g Calibration Verifications
i0.3.1 Continuingcalibrationverificationsare analyzedto veri@ the conhued accuracy of the calibration curve.
10.3.2 Analyze a mid-range calibration standard after every tenth sample, with a minimum of one per batch.
11.0 CALIBRATIONAND STANDARDIZATION 11.1 Analyze the extractedmatrix standards prior to and followingeach set ofextracts. The
average of two standard curves will be plotted by linear regression (y = my f b), weighted l/x, not forced through zero,using MassLynx or other suitable software.
11.2 Ifthe curve does not meet requirements, perform routinemaintenance or reextract the
standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
11.3 For purposes of accuracy when quantitating low levels of analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end of the calibration curve rather than the full range of the standard curve. Example: when attemptingto quantitateapproximately 10ppb of analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting of the standards h m 5 ppb to 100ppb rather than the full range of the curve (5 ppb to 1000ppb). This will reduce inaccilracy attributedto linear regression weighting of high concentration standards.

2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 This method describes the analysis of fluorochemical surfactants extracted from liver using WLC-electrospraylmasspectrometry, or similar system as appropriate. The analysis is performed by monitoring a single ion characteristic of a particular fluorochemical, such as the perfluorooctanesulfonate(PFOS) anion,m/z = 499. Additionally, samples may be analyzed using a tandem mass spectrometerto furlherverify the identity of a compound by detecting daughter ions of the selected parent ion.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (-1): The Micromass Q u a m 11triple quadrupole systems allow for various methods of ionization by utilizing various sources, probes, and interfaces. These include but are not limited to: 33lec:krospray Ioniiation (EST), Atmospheric Pressure chemical Ionization (APoI), Thermospray, etc. The ionization process in these techniques occurs at atmospheric pressure (i.e. not wader a vacuum).
3.2 Electrospray Ionization (ES, ESI):a method of ionization performed at atmospheric pressure, whereby ions in solution are transferredto the gas phase via tiny charged droplets.
These charged droplets are produced by the application of a strong electrical field.
3.3 Mass SpectrometryyMass Spectrometer (MS), Tandem Mass Spectrometer ( M S M S ) : The AJ?I Quattro II triple quadrupole mass spectrometer is equipped with two quadrupole
mass selective detectors and a collision cell. Ions an: selectively discriminated by mass to
charge ratio (mlz) and subsequently detected. A single MS may be employed for ion
detection or an ion may be selected in the first quadrupole, fragmented in the collision cell, and these hgments may be analyzed in the second quadrupole.
3.4 Conventional vs. Z-spray probe interface: The latest models ofMicromassQuattro 11 triple quadrupole (post 1998)utilize a "Z-spray" conformation. The spray emitted from a probe is orthogonal to the cone aperture. In the conventional conformation it is aimed directly at the cone aperture, after passing through a tortuous pathway in the counter electrode. Though the configuration is different, the methods of operation, cleaning, and maintenance are the same. However, Z-spray components and conventional components are not compatible with one another, but only with similar systems ( i s . Z-spray components are compatiblewith other Z-spray systems,etc.)
3.5 Mass Lynx Software: System software designed for the specific operation of these Quattro I1 triple quadrupole systems. Currently MassLynx has Windows 95 and WindowsNT 4.0 versions, All versions are similar. For more details refer to the manual specific to the
instrument (Micromass Quattro II triple quadrupole MassLynx or MassLynxNT User's
Guide).
4.0 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS 4.1 Health and Safety Warnings:
4.1.1 Use caution with the voltage cables for the:probe. When engaged, the probe employs a voltage of approximately 5000 `Volts.

11.3 For purposes of accuracy when quantitating low lervels of analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end of the calibration curve rather than the full range of the standard curve. Example: when attempting to quantitate approximately 10 ppb of analyte, generate a calibrationcurve consisting of the standards from5 ppb to 100ppb rather than the full
range of the curve (5 ppb to 1000ppb). This will reduce inaccuracy attributed to linear
regression weighting of high concentration standards.

observedfor this sample.
4Sulfbrin the sample appears to be converted to SO4and hence detected using the inorganic anion method conditions. The anion result agrees well with the sulfur determination in the elemental analysis, lending confidence to this interpretation. Based on the results, the SO4 is not considered an impurity.
