Application Notes

Raman spectroscopy offers sampling flexibility and can monitor changes in chemistry and crystallography during phase transitions.

FT-IR microscopy identifies unknown substances and contaminants based on molecular vibration to provide reliable, unambiguous indications of any contamination.

Peltier Cooled Cyclonic Spray Chamber Kit, compatible with Agilent® 7900 and 8900 and legacy Agilent® ICP-MS models, provides improved washout, increased sample throughput.

This study describes an automated procedure to quantify ultratrace elemental impurities in de-ionized (DI) water and H2O2 using an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ fitted with an ESI prepFAST S automated sample introduction system. The prepFAST S automates sample preparation and calibration, saving time and minimizing the risk of sample-contamination from manual sample handling operations.

This study demonstrates how to measure ultratrace (parts-per-trillion) levels of inorganic impurities in isopropyl alcohol, a key process chemical for semiconductor fabrication. The method includes online calibration using the IAS Automated Standard Addition System for an Agilent ICP-QQQ instrument. The method allows the accurate and reliable quantification of ultratrace level impurities in IPA without requiring a highly skilled analyst.

LECO’s GDS instruments are ideal for investigating PVD coatings and the factors that determine their protection of substrate, as shown by this application note.

This study describes the generation of 3D images of pharmaceutical, biological, and geological samples using image stacking enabled by a highly confocal beam geometry.
