We investigated the performance of nitrogen microwave inductively coupled atmospheric-pressure plasma mass spectrometry (MICAP-MS) under matrix effects and its applicability to trace element analysis in steels.

Phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and metal concentrations (Al, Cu and Zn) were determined in human brain proteins by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) after separation of protein mixtures by two dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The analysis of phosphorus, silicon and metals in single protein spots in the gel was performed with an optimized microanalytical ...

The inductively coupled RF discharge is known to exhibit two modes of operation depending on the level of incident power. Dominant capacitive coupling (E-mode discharge) occurs at low-power level while at high power, dominant inductive coupling (H-mode discharge) is obtained. In this work, we investigate the characteristics of the E-mode and H-mode discharges generated in a planar coil inductiv...

abstract background: fisheries safety control and considering heavy metal accumulation is one of the most important factors in maintaining health society and assuring the safety of this valuable food. the purpose of this study is evaluating the potential of bioaccumulation and exposure to lead and cadmium due to consumption of penaeus semisulcatus in tehran city 2012.. methods: samples were col...

Nanofocused synchrotron X-ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry provide insights into time-dependent ligand exchange reactions of organo-osmium anticancer complexes in cancer cells. Created with Biorender.com.

This White Paper is focused on the technical aspects regarding quantifying pharmaceutically derived inorganic elements in biomatrices in support of GLP nonclinical and clinical studies using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques. For decades ICP has been used in support of Environmental Protection Agency analyses and has more recently been applied for use in the pharmaceutical industry. C...

Titanium is a promising new material system for the bulk micromachining of microelectromechanical MEMS devices. Titaniumbased MEMS have the potential to be used for a number of applications, including those which require high fracture toughness or biocompatibility. The bulk titanium etch rate, TiO2 mask etch rate, and surface roughness in an inductively coupled plasma ICP as a function of vario...

The USP has proposed using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for determining heavy metals in drug articles to replace the USP <231> heavy metals test. While the current USP <231> procedure will detect Pb, Hg, Bi, As, Sb, Sn, Cd, Ag, Cu and Mo, the proposed method will test for Al, Sb, As, Be, B, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, In, Ir, Fe, Pb, Li, Mg, Mn, Hg, Mo, Ni, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh, Rb, Ru, Se, Sr, Tl, Sn, W and...
