Techniques and Tools for Common Errors that Affect ICP Analysis (Part 2)

Understanding the Causes of Errors and Interferences in ICP Analyses and the Impact on Analytical Results (Part 1)

Approaches to Optimizing Data Quality and Extending ICP Methods (Part 3)

The analytical performance of your ICP can often be improved by a careful choice of torch, spray chamber and nebulizer components by taking into account the type of samples that will be analyzed. In this article, we focus on the “hard to measure” ICP-OES elements, As, Se and Pb to determine whether we can improve detection limit performance by selection of appropriate sample introduction components.
