Choosing the right emission line can be difficult. While there is no single rule that applies to all analytes in every conceivable type of sample, this webinar will guide you through the steps in selecting the appropriate analytical wavelength for your sample matrix.

Event Overview:
In inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analyses, results accuracy is dependent on choosing the right wavelength. Deciding which wavelength to use for each analyte can be a daunting task based on the matrix and corresponding interferences. There are thousands of wavelengths to choose from: some elements have many wavelengths, whereas others have few useful wavelengths. While there is no single rule that applies to all analytes in every conceivable type of sample, this webinar will guide you through 7 steps for selecting the appropriate analytical wavelength for your future methods to ensure accurate results.
