The Analysis of Petroleum and Petroleum Products with an Agilent ICP-MS system

Metal contents and contaminants are crucial in the production of petroleum products and petrochemicals.

Agilent ICPMS systems offer wide ranges of analytical techniques from direct injection in total metal analysis to chromatography hyphenated techniques in metal speciation. In this webinar, we will highlight the ease of organic solvent introduction in an Agilent ICPMS system, the optimization of the ICPMS system for petroleum analysis, as well as the additional metal speciation provided by the coupling of an Agilent gas chromatography system to ICPMS.
