Presented by Isaac (Joe) Brenner, Brenner Scientifc
Tuesday, October 5, 2021 ◉ 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm EST
Cost: $199
TARGET AUDIENCE: This course is intended for all laboratory personnel – operators, managers, quality control and assurance specialists, research scientists, environmental chemists, geochemists, biologists, metallurgists, toxicologists, new and experienced users of atomic absorption and plasma spectrometry, and technical personnel at all levels.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Overview and description of ICP-AES technologies. Comparison with Microwave Induced Plasmas. Advantages of low UV wavelength range for determination of halogens and other elements. Developments in axially, radially’, dual, side-on, dual side viewed plasmas. Comparison using LODs, linearity, and EIE matrix effects. Evaluation of plasma observation configurations and robust conditions – MgII/Mg I ratios and minimum EIE effects Cross-over point – Vertical intensity variations and regions of minimum easily ionized element interference effects. Enhancement effects due to addition of C-species. Brief overview of the DC carbon Arc AES, slurry nebulization and spark ablation for direct solids analysis. Requirements for ISO 17025 accreditation. Overcoming hurdles of sample preparation.
