This research compares performance, reproducibility, and detection limits of ambient seawater analysis for trace metals using both borohydride reductive co-precipitation and an automated chelation column (seaFAST™ 2) co-preconcentration for matrix interferent elimination on total and dissolved grab samples in nearshore to marine waters, over a broad concentration range, prior to ICP-MS injection. A move to an online preconcentration method both minimizes sample preparation, and eliminates correction errors when accounting for trace impurities in precipitated samples, induced via reagents. The reproducability of the online preconcentration method described, coupled with low blanks and method detection limits (MDLs), demonstrates an effective move to an automated procedure using ethylenediaminetriacetic and iminodiacetate acid chelation exchange resin and multi-analyte determination via ICP-MS for total and dissolved Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in marine water samples. Average CASS-5 recoveries using the online preconcentration method (n=9) were 109±7%, 104±5%, 103±7%, 101±3%, and 86±8% respectively. The MDLs obtained from the automated method for Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb were 3.3, 1.8, 13.5, 4, and 10 times lower, respectively, than for the Borohydride method. There were statistically significant differences between the methods for CASS-5 recoveries of Ni, Cu, Zn (p < 0.0001), and Pb (p = 0.0024). Comparison of methods gave high concordance (rC = 0.90) between methods for total and dissolved Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb, and total Cd.
