The Importance of Method Development for Trace-Element Analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectroscopy
Maura Rury
When developing or optimizing an ICP-OES method for trace-element analysis, a number of parameters must be evaluated, including analytical wavelengths, interferences, plasma parameters, data acquisition parameters, and validation. Here's what to consider for each.

Distinguishing Structural Isomers: Mono- and Disubstituted Benzene Rings
Brian C. Smith
There are three ways of arranging two substituents around a benzene ring, meaning that each disubstituted ring has three structural isomers. Fortunately, infrared spectroscopy can distinguish such structural isomers. Here, we explain how.
