Dr. Andrei Izmer is Analytical Technical Leader – Mass Spectrometry at Almac Sciences. He obtained his PhD in Analytical Chemistry in 2006 from Mainz University (Germany). He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland), Trent University (Canada) and Ghent University (Belgium). He has a background in the development of analytical methods for the determination of elemental impurities by ICP-MS in a wide range of materials including radioactive materials, biological, environmental and pharmaceutical samples.
A method transfer case study describing how digestion vessel capability, elevated microwave digestion temperature, and optimized acid chemistry resolved poor palladium spike recovery and memory effects during ICP-MS trace metal analysis, achieving consistent 98–100% recoveries with no observable carryover.
