Solving the Rare Earth and Other Element Challenges Using a Multi-Quadrupole ICP-MS

Introduction

This webinar will discuss operating conditions and strategies for obtaining optimal results when analyzing samples in complex matrices on a multi-quadrupole ICP-MS. Fusion samples and high purity metals represent a challenge in that they are a matrix of high total dissolved solids when presented to an ICP-MS. As well, the certified reference materials included in the data presented contain many rare earth elements, which are a challenge for single quadrupole instruments. Data and methods will be presented and discussed to provide successful approaches when analyzing this difficult sample type.
