Measurement of trace elements in volatile organic solvents with ICP-AES or ICP-MS detection is difficult for several reasons: plasma instability and/or failure, carbon buildup on the ICP torch and ICP-MS sampling cones, and spectral interferences from the solvent carbon matrix.
Teledyne CETAC offers a variety of specialized liquid sample introduction and sample handling accessories to improve ICP-AES and ICP-MS detection of trace elements in volatile organic solvents.
