Analysis of Trace Elements as Impurities in Materials Used for Lithium-Ion Battery Production
September 01, 2022
Lithium-based batteries are key for moving away from the combustion of fossil fuels at the point of use. ICP-OES and ICP-MS methods can measure trace-element impurities that may affect battery performance.
Understanding the Fundamental Components of Sample Introduction for ICP-OES and ICP-MS
August 01, 2022
This tutorial explains the most critical components of the sample introduction system of modern ICP-optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and ICP-mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, providing analysts with a guide for initial configuration settings and recommended maintenance intervals for reliable daily operation.
Key Steps to Create a Sample Preparation Strategy for Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) or ICP–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) Analysis
January 01, 2022
How to create trouble-free sample preparation workflow for elemental analysis.
Analyzing the Elemental Composition of Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Emitted as Air Pollution Using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
September 01, 2021
This study describes how interference-free, low-level analysis of toxic elements as well as major elements in particulate matter (PM), with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or smaller, can be accomplished. Comparison study examples are given for two locations.
Imaging of Trace Elements Using Laser Ablation–Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry: Emerging New Applications
September 01, 2020
Metallomics seeks to understand the metallobiochemistry of cells and organisms in health and disease. This article explains the principle of laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for imaging applications and highlights its potential to provide additional insights in bioanalysis and metallomics.
ICP-MS Analysis of Noble Metals at Low Levels in Geological Reference Materials and Ores
September 01, 2018
This study reveals the potential of triple-quadrupole ICP-MS for reliable quantification of noble metals at ultratrace levels even in difficult matrices.The effective use of reactive gases for interference removal and a thorough and effective protocol for sample preparation and handling are essential.
Effective Removal of Isobaric Interferences on Strontium and Lead Using Triple-Quadrupole ICP-MS
October 01, 2017
Unresolved interferences can lead to biased results in ICP-MS analyses. Here we describe an approach for removing those interferences using reactive gases.
