Understanding Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
In inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), atomization and ionization are achieved in a radiofrequency argon plasma at atmospheric pressure. Since a seminal publication in 1980, ICP-MS has become one of the most frequently employed methods of elemental MS. The wide acceptance of ICP-MS is due to its comparatively robust, yet versatile sampling mode. An … Read more
