Improvement of the Limits of Detection for P, S, and Ca Nanoparticle Size in the Absence of Dissolved Analyte Using a Mixed-Gas Plasma in Single-Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry

January 01, 2020

This study shows, for the first time, that limits of detection (LOD) can be improved for P, S and Ca nanoparticles by the addition of N2 to the plasma flow for single-particle inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (spICP-MS). The work also examined the relative LOD differences using Ar-N2 and Ar-N2-H2 mixed-gas plasmas.
