Inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the analytical-chemistry subtree

Sample is nebulised into an argon plasma (T ≈ 6 000–10 000 K) that atomises and ionises virtually every element, then the resulting cations are extracted into a mass analyser (quadrupole, sector, or time-of-flight) for elemental and…
