Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences

336
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) is a highly selective and sensitive technique for accurate elemental analysis. Though the analysis of ICP–MS mass spectra is comparatively straightforward, it is affected by spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic interferences. Spectroscopic interferences arise when the plasma contains ionic species with an m/z value the same as the analyte ion. Spectroscopic interference can be categorized as isobaric, polyatomic ions, and...

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS): Overview

592
In inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS), an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch is used as an atomizer and ionizer. Solid samples are dissolved and volatilized before being introduced into the high-temperature argon plasma, while solution samples are nebulized and passed through the high-temperature argon plasma. Plasma dissociates the analytes and ionizes their component atoms to form a mixture of positive ions and molecular species. The positive ions are then...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

431
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the most widely used plasma source in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ICP source, or torch, consists of three concentric quartz tubes with argon gas flowing through them. A spark from a Tesla coil initiates the ionization of argon, generating a high-temperature plasma.
The ions and electrons produced interact with the fluctuating magnetic field created by a water-cooled...

AES is a powerful analytical technique, especially effective when used with plasma sources, producing abundant spectra in characteristic emission lines. The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), in particular, yields superior quantitative analytical data due to its high stability, low noise, low background, and minimal interferences under optimal experimental conditions. However, newer air-operated microwave sources are emerging as promising alternatives that could be more cost-effective than...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

158
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy  (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used....

Area of Science:

  • Geochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Isotope Geochemistry

Background:

  • Standard-sample bracketing (SSB) and element doping are common techniques for correcting instrumental mass bias in Fe-Zn isotope analysis via multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS).
  • The impact of analyte concentration and spike-analyte ratios on measurement accuracy in these analyses requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an improved Fe-Zn isotope analysis method.
  • To mitigate concentration effects by combining SSB with element doping.
  • To assess the influence of Ni/Fe and Cu/Zn ratios and analyte concentrations on isotope precision and accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an improved Fe-Zn isotope analysis method integrating SSB with element doping.
  • Systematically evaluated Ni/Fe and Cu/Zn ratios (0.1-2.1).
  • Assessed analyte concentrations from 0.1 to 2.0 times the bracketing standards' concentration.

Main Results:

  • Variations in Ni/Fe and Cu/Zn ratios had minimal impact on measurement precision when low-concentration isotopes were accurately quantified.
  • The combined approach reduced concentration matching constraints by 30%-50% compared to conventional SSB.
  • Validation using 10 geological reference materials confirmed the method's reliability, with isotopic values matching published data.

Conclusions:

  • The combined SSB and element doping approach improves measurement precision for Fe-Zn isotope analysis.
  • This method enhances applicability to a wider range of geological samples.
  • It provides a robust technique for Fe-Zn isotope studies.
