Elemental Analysis in Jet Fuel by direct injection with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)

Quality control of jet fuel is important for many reasons, engine protection, environmental concerns, especially safety. Currently testing labs use various analytical techniques for elemental analysis in jet fuel. As the regulations for metal contaminants require lower limits, advance analytical techniques for elemental analysis become more important.
This presentation will showcase direct injection of jet fuel in ICP-MS without any sample preparations for elemental analysis, with detection limits in parts-per-billion levels. The instrumentation setup and sample results will be discussed in this presentation.
