HDXRF vs ICP for Plated Metals

When measuring plated metal samples, it is not uncommon for results from inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis to be different than results from HDXRF analysis. Take a look at our application note and learn more about: Why do ICP and HDXRF results differ? How can I determine if my sample is plated? How can I minimize the variation in results for plated metals? Application Note ...

Arsenic and antimony speciation analysis in the environment using hyphenated techniques to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: a review

Elemental speciation involves the separation and quantification of different oxidation states or chemical forms of a particular trace element. Trace metals exhibit widely different toxicities depending on their elemental species in the environment. On the other hand, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is considered to be the method of choice for elemental analysis for several ...

Reduction of Matrix-Induced Interferences for Transition Elements Using a Desolvating Nebulizer System with Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry -

Abstract: Matrix-based mass spectral interferences can compromise detection of a variety of transition elements when using quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Example interferences include 35Cl16O+ on 51V+ , 40Ar16O+ on 56Fe+, and molybdenum oxides on all cadmium isotopes except 106Cd. Cell-based quadrupole ICP-MS instruments can reduce such interferences using ...
