Vol 39 No s9 Advances in ICP-OES and ICP-MS for Today's Spectroscopists North America PDF

This month’s column evaluates the capability of inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to reduce the impact of doubly charged rare-earth element (REE) interferences on the quantitation of the metalloids, arsenic (As), and selenium (Se) in water and biological matrices.

Top articles published this week include an article about hyperspectral imaging in human skin research, a peer-reviewed article about analyzing geological samples using atomic spectroscopy techniques, and an equipment roundup piece about the latest products in the industry.

In this preview to the upcoming SciX 2024 conference next week, Spectroscopy sat down with Frank Vanhaecke to discuss about his educational background and what he is looking forward to about the upcoming conference.

Frank Vanhaecke and the Atomic & Mass Spectrometry Research Group of Belgium’s Ghent University recently developed a novel method allowing for direct isotopic analysis of mercury (Hg) in solid samples without any prior sample treatment being performed.

The following article is adapted from a chapter in the author’s textbook, Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other AS Techniques: A Tutorial for Beginners, published by CRC Press.

A 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.
