Increased Laboratory Productivity for ICP-OES Applied to U.S. EPA Method 6010C

چکیده
The use of an ESI SC FAST autosampler coupled to a Perkin Elmer Optima 7300 DV ICP can dramatically improve productivity for the analysis of environmental samples using EPA SW-846 Method 6010C. Sample throughput, as determined by sample-to-sample run time can be improved by as much as 100% as compared to traditional sample introduction systems and autosampler configurations. Both sample analysis time and rinse out time are significantly reduced, allowing for a doubling of overall productivity. In addition, stability of the plasma and instrument is very robust allowing for long, unattended run times while meeting calibration and method QC requirements. Valuable man hours spent on instrument maintenance and recalibration are reduced. This paper will demonstrate that these productivity enhancement claims can be accomplished for implementation SW-846 Method 6010C. ICP-OES a p p l i c a t i o n n o t e

A Complete Method for Environmental Samples by Simultaneous Axially Viewed ICP- OES following US EPA Guidelines Authors
The Vista instrument has a number of distinct advantages over similar ICP-OES systems. Firstly, the VistaChip is the only single Charge Coupled Device (CCD) that allows full coverage of the spectrum from 165-785nm, with a pixel processing speed of 1 MHz and exceptional anti-blooming properties. These features allow both trace level analytes and major analytes to be determined in the same measur...
متن کاملPhosphorus Concentrations in Sequentially Fractionated Soil Samples as Affected by Digestion Methods
Sequential fractionation has helped improving our understanding of the lability and bioavailability of P in soil. Nevertheless, there have been no reports on how manipulation of the different fractions prior to analyses affects the total P (TP) concentrations measured. This study investigated the effects of sample digestion, filtration, and acidification on the TP concentrations determined by I...
متن کاملCopper Determination in Gunshot Residue by Cyclic Voltammetric and Inductive Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy
Analysis of gunshot residue (GSR) is a crucial evidences for a forensic analyst in the fastest way. GSR analysis insists a suitable method provides a relatively simple, rapid and precise information on the spot at the crime scene. Therefore, the analysis of Cu(II) in GSR using cyclic voltammetry (CV) on screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is a better choice compared to previous alternative m...

The combinations of inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and three classification algorithms, i.e., partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA), for discriminating different brands of Iranian bottled mineral waters, were explored. ICP-OES was used for th...
