ASTM Standard D-6751 - Determination of Trace Elements in Biodiesel Fuel Using the Teledyne Leeman Lab’s Prodigy 7 ICP-OES
Biodiesel fuel is easily analyzed using the Prodigy7 ICP. The detection limit of Teledyne Leeman Lab’s Prodigy7 ICP-OES readily exceeds the requirements of the ASTM D-6751 Standard against which biodiesel must be measured. Samples are easily prepared by dilution with a suitable solvent. Sample spike recoveries and reference standards results indicate that the method is suitable for the analysis of biodiesel fuels and that matrix interferences are not an issue.
New Study Reveals How NASA’s Perseverance Rover Uses LIBS for Precise Mars Rock Analysis
November 12th 2024NASA’s Perseverance rover is collecting valuable information for scientists back on Earth. A recent study explored how laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is being used to analyze the Martian surface.
Simultaneous Determination of 50 Elements in Geological Samples by ICP-MS Combined with ICP-OES
October 15th 2024A method combining inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was developed for multielement determination of 50 species of major, minor, micro, and trace, rare earth, and rare elements in geological samples.
