Application Notes: General

This application note demonstrates the analysis of gold alloys by EDXRF for the determination of gold and silver content, and of base metals and other alloying metals.

This application note details how the Renishaw Virsa Raman analyzer can be used to study catalysts, with vanadium oxide as an example.

Why, when, and how to maintain ICP-MS interface cones, in addition to the importance of cone conditioning is discussed, along with the benefits of Platinum tipped cones.

This application note demonstrates the use of the SQX Scatter Fundamental Parameter (FP) method for the screening of materials difficult to analyze by conventional SQX.

See how Raman microscopy in combination with SEM, AFM, topographic imaging, and other methods can characterize chemical and structural properties of geoscience samples.

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.
