ATOMIC PERSPECTIVES
Reducing the Effects of Interferences in Quadrupole ICP -MS

This month’s installment covers correction equations, collisions, and chemical reactions in quadrupole ICP-MS.
Kenneth Neubauer

ARTICLE
A Quantitative Analysis of Neodymium and Samarium at Low Pressure by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

The authors focus on stabilizing a plasma sphere to enhance the accuracy of LIBS, and determine an optimum measuring position of a plasma sphere based upon the quantitative analysis of ordinary metals.
Seung-Hyun Kim, June-Sik Ju, Hee-Sung Shin, Ho-Dong Kim, and Ki-Ju Yee

Changing Everything You Know About Liquids Analysis by FTIR
ON DEMAND WEBCAST
Low level components or impurities in liquid samples are typically not amenable to analysis by attenuated total reflectance (ATR) methods due to pathlength constraints, and thus analysts turn to classical transmission measurements for these types of samples. Yet, ATR is far easier to use than the cumbersome transmission cells. New advances in the analysis of liquids by FTIR spectroscopy can provide a far broader range of quantitative capability for liquid samples, while retaining the ease of use and speed of analysis afforded by ATR. http://spectroscopyonline.com/changing
