In today’s products and materials ultra-trace amounts of additives and impurities often have great influence on performance and grade.
Rapid and reliable trace detection in ever more complex and concentrated analytical samples has thus become the key objective of many laboratories entrusted with product control and quality assurance. Since its introduction the stability of the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) has presented a major limitation for ICP optical emission spectrometry (OES), as the detection power is hugely affected by the ability of the plasma to tolerate high sample...
