Elemental analysis screening

Analytical setup example: Equipment: Agilent 5100 ICP-OES;   Replicates: 3;   Pump speed: 15 rpm;   Uptake delay: 20 s;   Rinse time: 30 s;   Read time: 5 s;   RF power: 1.20 kW;   Stabilization time: 10 s;   Nebulizer flow: 0.70 l/min;   Plasma flow:  12.0 l/min;   Viewing height: 8 mm

Sample handling example: sample is introduced into a 25 ml volumetric flask and filled up with water. The samples are analysed after dilution without further treatment.

3-points calibration is set up for the individual elements (Li, Be, B, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, I, Cs, Ba, La, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Th, U) using standard solutions. The presence of the components above is monitored at least at 2 analysis lines.

Metal ion concentrations are calculated based on the calibration curves obtained by the measurement of the  the metal ion-specific signal intensities of the standard solutions.

Elemental analysis screening is offered as a non-GLP service.
