Optimize your analytical workflow to save time, resources, and get reliable results faster.
Trace and ultra-trace detection of inorganic elemental contaminants in drinking water, wastewater, soils, and sludges driven by federal, state, and local USA regulations led to the demand for sensitive multi-element analytical techniques such as Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). US EPA approved methods for analysis by ICP-MS have become the standard not only for government but for contract testing and industrial laboratories.
Instrument innovations improve performance and productivity; however, obtaining accurate, reportable results remains a challenge due to detection requirements, complex sample matrices, and stringent quality control protocols. Extra precautions when setting up a laboratory, selecting the appropriate apparatus for preparations, proper instrument set up, and overcoming analytical challenges are prerequisites to achieving detection limits and quality data.
If your laboratory is
- starting up or preparing for environmental sample analysis by ICP-MS
- seeking to streamline current methodologies and workflows
- experiencing analytical challenges, inaccurate results, and sample reruns
our eBook, “Guide for Environmental Sample Analysis by ICP-MS: Recommendations for Getting Started and Best Practices to Streamline Workflow,” serves as a helpful resource.
Topics covered in this eBook include:
- considerations and best practices when selecting and using laboratory apparatus, equipment, reagents, and standard solutions
