Introduction
Interferences in plasma-based spectroscopy are among the most challenging aspects of method development for ICP-MS analysis. When complex matrices are present, polyatomic and isobaric interferences can lead to inaccurate and inconsistent results. To assess approaches for minimizing or eliminating these interferences, several factors must be considered: the type and concentration of interferences, sample volume, and the required detection limits.
PerkinElmer's NexION® ICP-MS series instruments feature a third generation Universal Cell Technology (UCT) system engineered to mitigate spectral interferences and overcome new analytical demands. Read this technical brief to learn more.
