I am being asked to test for bromide at less than 10ug/l in samples with about 0.5% chloride! Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you very much.

A high capacity IC column should be able to separate the overloaded Cl peak and the Br peak e.g. IonPac AS18 and IonPac AS23, but first check the response of 10 ppb Br alone. Try larger injection volumes as long as overloaded Cl does not interfere with Br and a decent signal for Br is visible. Most of the times you will a see fronted Cl overload peak, which means that later eluting peaks will not be drastically distorted if the Cl were tailing. Don't expect the same retention time of Br as under trace Cl conditions. The Br peak may shift earlier or even later under overload conditions.
