What ICP Spatial Heterogeneity Reveals About Interference in ICP-AES
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) systems have an optimal observation height, but measurements made at other observation heights in the ICP should also yield the same accurate analytical results —if there are no interferences. This means that a spatial-varying determined concentration of the analyte can reveal that something — such as matrix interference — is wrong with the measurement. George Chan of the Laser Technologies Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recently spoke to us about his work exploiting the spatial heterogeneity of the ICP. |
Selecting the best ICP-OES plasma interface for your research
Learn core concepts surrounding optical interfaces available for ICP-OES spectrometers and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Learn how each works and why the interface should be a major factor in your selection of the best instrument for your research. The paper also introduces a unique new approach called MultiView.
