Multi-Elemental Analysis of Crepis Sahendi Boiss Grown in Iraqi Kurdistan Region Using ICP-OES/ICP-MS Techniques

Plants used in Iraqi traditional medicine in Erbil - Kurdistan region

* Department of pharmaceutcal, College of Pharmacy, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, Iraq. Introduction Herbal medicine is a traditional or folk medicine practice based on the use of plants’ seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, flowers and plant extracts for medicinal purposes. Plants are important sources of medicine for thousands of years and are the most important source of life saving drug...

Multi-elemental speciation analysis of barley genotypes differing in tolerance to cadmium toxicity using SEC-ICP-MS and ESI-TOF-MS

Plants respond to Cd exposure by synthesizing heavy-metal-binding oligopeptides, called phytochelatins (PCs). These peptides reduce the activity of Cd ions in the plant tissues by forming Cd chelates. The main objective of the present work was to develop an analytical technique, which allowed identification of the most prominent Cd species in plant tissue by SEC-ICP-MS and ESI-TOF-MS. An integr...

ICP-OES, ICP-MS and AAS Techniques Compared

This article will briefly describe these three techniques, and point out the important criteria by which to judge their applicability to your own analytical problems. Table 1 below shows a checklist of common analytical requirements and may help in the assessment of the techniques. For many people with an ICP-OES background, ICP-MS is a plasma with a mass spectrometer as a detector. Mass spectr...

Trace Elemental Analysis of Trichlorosilane by Agilent 7700s/7900 ICP-MS

Metallic impurities in trichlorosilane (TCS), an intermediate product used in the production of photovoltaic (PV) silicon, must be strictly controlled in order to produce the high purity PV silicon necessary for the manufacture of solar cells. A successful analytical method was developed, featuring measurement of impurities in TCS by an Agilent 7700s/7900 ICP-MS, following a sample preparation ...
