Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: A Computer Controlled, Scanning Monochromator System for the Rapid Determination of the Elements

摘要

A computer controlled, scanning monochromator system specifically designed for the rapid, sequential determination of the elements is described. The monochromator is combined with an inductively coupled plasma excitation source so that elements at major, minor, trace, and ultratrace levels may be determined, in sequence, without changing experimental parameters other than the spectral line observed. A number of distinctive features not found in previously described versions are incorporated into the system here described. Performance characteristics of the entire system and several analytical applications are discussed. (ERA citation 05:032746)
