Introduction to ICP spectrometry: Part 2
In our second part of this educational webinar, we will show you various tips and tricks for performance optimization, method development and data handling.
The session "From sample prep to data evaluation using ICP-OES and ICP-MS" will cover:
System Optimization – Performance reports, Mass Cal/Cross Cal, KED interface cleaning, Conditioning
Method development – Correct wavelength/viewing mode and isotope selection, interferences – spectral and m/z, determine correct internal standards to use and validation of method
Data evaluation – correcting for background and interferences, stability, and sensitivity verification, Examine calibration curves for R2, LOD and saturation, QC data, carryover and drift correction
Learning points:
Learn theoretical and practical fundamentals for daily operation with ICP-OES and ICP-MS
Learn about system optimization, method development and data evaluation to integrate and optimize this technology in your routine analysis
Learn tips and trick for cleaning and maintenance to improve your analytical performance
Who should attend:
Laboratory managers and analysts who work with ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems
Analysts who want to learn about sample prep, sample introduction and instrument maintenance
Laboratory leaders who want to leverage the full potential of their instrument
