Abstract

Water quality especially drinking water is highly significant to human lives. To access the safe and secure drinking water, nowadays it has become an issue of global concerns. A novel method using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was proposed to analyze sulfate level in bottled and metropolitan water collected from various provinces of Saudi Arabia. The chromatographic analysis was achieved within 1 min with reversed phase Waters Acquity® BEH C18 column and a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The performance of the optimized system was established, attaining linearity (r2 > 0.999) over a wide-ranging concentration from several below hundred mg/L to the detection limit of sulfate. In terms of relative standard deviation of the samples (RSD%), the excellent run-to-run (
