ICP Expert How To: What is it and How to set up an Advanced Valve System (AVS) for ICP-OES

ICP-OES can suffer from spectral interferences. This presentation will discuss the different types of interferences present in ICP and how to correct for them.

IEC is the classical way of correcting for interferences and will be discussed briefly. However, modeling techniques, like FACT can be easier and more effective in many cases. We will go through what FACT is and how to set this techniques on an ICP system.
