Low levels of inorganic arsenic [As(III) and As(V)] in fishery products have been selectively isolated from fish extracts (1.0 g of wet fish samples pre-treated with 10 mL of 1:1 methanol/water under sonication at 25 °C for 30 min) by ionic imprinted polymer (IIPs) based solid phase extraction procedure (on-column mode). The selective adsorbent was synthesized using sodium (meta) arsenite as a template, 1-vinyl imidazole as a functional monomer, divinylbenzene as a cross-linker, and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. Optimized pre-concentration conditions imply fish extract (10 mL) pH adjustment at 8.5 before loading (flow rate of 0.25 mL min), and elution with ultrapure water (2 mL) at 0.50 mL min. A pre-concentration factor of 50 was finally obtained after evaporation to dryness (N stream) and re-dissolution in 0.2 mL of ultrapure water before HPLC-ICP-MS. Synthesized material was found to pre-concentrate inorganic arsenic species; whereas organic arsenic compounds, mainly arsenobetaine (the major organoarsenic compound in fish/seafood products), were not found to interact with the adsorbent. The developed selective method gave limits of quantification of 1.05 and 1.31 µg kg for As (III) and As (V), respectively, and good precision [relative standard deviations lower than 12% in fish extracts spiked at several As (III) and As (V) levels]. The proposed method was finally applied to the selective determination of As (III) and As (V) species in several fishery products.
