Event Overview:
Geochemical analysis poses significant challenges due to complex mineral matrices, high total dissolved solids, and the need to accurately measure elements across a wide concentration range. Exploration and mining laboratories must also balance these analytical demands with the need for high throughput, reliable performance, and minimal downtime. This webinar explores how ICP-OES and ICP-MS can be used to address these challenges through optimized sample preparation, interference management, and instrument configuration. Attendees will learn practical strategies for handling high-matrix samples, maintaining stability during extended runs, and improving data quality and operational efficiency. Real-world workflows will demonstrate how ICP-based approaches help laboratories increase productivity and deliver consistent, decision-ready results for exploration activities.
Key Learning Objectives
- Identify challenges in high-matrix geochemical sample analysis.
- Understand the correct sample preparation procedure to improve sample analysis.
- Apply ICP strategies to reduce interferences and improve accuracy.
- Improve throughput and stability in mining laboratory workflows.
Who Should Attend
- Lab directors, chemists, geochemists, managers, and technicians of labs conducting geochemical analyses of complex mineral matrices
