Abstract: A method using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed for the determination of perchlorate and chlorate in tea. Tea extracts were purified by ProElut C18, separated by Click Xion column. The mobile phases were 5βmmol·L-1 ammonium formate/water (A) and methanol: 5βmmol·L-1 ammonium formate/water =9︰1 (B). The pH was adjusted to 3.2 by formic acid and the samples were then analyzed by UPLC-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). The method was applied to detect perchlorate and chlorate in tea. The average recovery and relative standard deviations were in the range of 60.5%-85.8% and 4.9%-7.7%, respectively. The detecting limits of perchlorate and chlorate were 3βμg·kg-1 and 5βμg·kg-1, respectively. The method is simple, quick and high sensitive, which is suitable for the determination of perchlorate and chlorate in tea.

Key words: ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, tea, perchlorate, chlorate
