Event Overview:
Learn strategies from three industry experts to improve your ICP-MS laboratory’s throughput and efficiency whenrunning EPA 200.8. First, we will introduce a new cyclonic spray chamber, designed specifically to improve washout efficiency and maintain optimum ICP-MS analytical performance. To complement this, we will then discuss various techniques and rinse chemistries to reduce carryover of troublesome elements, such as B, Hg, Pb and Sb. We will conclude with microwave digestion tips and best practices for drinking, surface, and ground waters in addition to solid waste samples.
Key Learning Objectives:
- New cyclonic spray chamber design to improve ICP-MS washout efficiency
- Suggestions for calibration strategies regarding chemical compatibility
- Tips to reduce carryover effects from troublesome elements
- Lowering your cost per sample with microwave digestion

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
