Advances in Chromatography and Electrophoresis & Chiranal 2026 - Programme

<h3><strong>Introduction</strong></h3><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_From_Raw_Signals_to_Reliable_Results_Post_Acquisition_Data_Workflows_in_ICP_Analysis_f7248bb920.jpg" alt="Thermo Fisher Scientific: From Raw Signals to Reliable Results: Post-Acquisition Data Workflows in ICP Analysis" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_From_Raw_Signals_to_Reliable_Results_Post_Acquisition_Data_Workflows_in_ICP_Analysis_f7248bb920.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="512"></p><p>Modern elemental analysis techniques such as ICP-OES and ICP-MS are capable of generating large volumes of highly sensitive, multi-dimensional data in a single analytical run. These technologies are widely used across environmental, pharmaceutical, food, and materials science applications due to their precision and low detection limits. However, while significant emphasis is often placed on method development, instrument optimisation, and sample preparation, the true scientific value of any analysis is ultimately determined during the post-acquisition phase. It is here that raw instrumental signals are processed, interrogated, and validated before being translated into meaningful and defensible results. Whether you are working with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products?category=227&amp;instrumentationItems=84&amp;manufacturerItems=3&amp;search=iCAP+PRO"><strong>iCAP PRO ICP-OES</strong></a>, the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products?category=232&amp;manufacturerItems=3&amp;search=iCAP+MX"><strong>iCAP MX ICP-MS</strong></a>, the iCAP 7000 OES, or Qnova ICP-MS systems, the interface and workflow logic remain familiar.</p><h3><strong>Method</strong></h3><p>Following data acquisition, analysts must first navigate and organise <strong>complex datasets</strong> efficiently. Large analytical sequences may contain hundreds of samples, each with multiple analytes, replicates, and quality control elements. Tools such as column sorting and filtering are therefore essential for structured data interrogation. Sorting concentration values, for example, allows rapid identification of extreme values or potential outliers, while filtering by sample type, QC category, or analyte enables targeted investigation of specific data subsets. These tools support not only workflow efficiency but also statistical awareness, helping analysts detect trends, inconsistencies, or anomalies that may otherwise go unnoticed. In parallel, maintaining a complete <strong>LabBook</strong> history ensures that all changes to methods, calibration parameters, and analytical settings are recorded. This level of traceability is essential for regulatory compliance, particularly in environments operating under ISO standards or Good Laboratory Practice, and it ensures that results can be reproduced and audited with confidence.</p><p>A fundamental aspect of post-acquisition processing is the <strong>application and evaluation of correction models</strong>. ICP-based techniques are inherently susceptible to a range of <strong>interferences</strong>, including <strong>background signals, spectral overlaps, and matrix-induced signal suppression or enhancement</strong>. Blank subtraction is typically the first correction applied, removing contributions from reagents, solvents, and instrument background. By comparing results with and without blank correction, analysts can assess the significance of background contributions, particularly at low concentration levels. In ICP-OES, Inter-element correction (IEC) addresses spectral interferences by mathematically compensating for overlapping emission lines, which is especially important in complex matrices containing multiple elements.&nbsp;For ICP-MS, correction equations can be similarly implemented to correct for the presence of an isobaric interferences of mass signals.</p><p><strong>Internal standard (IS) correction</strong> is another critical component, used to normalise signal fluctuations caused by instrument drift, variations in sample introduction, or matrix effects. Reviewing data with these corrections toggled on and off provides valuable diagnostic insight, allowing analysts to determine whether corrections are appropriate and whether the underlying method is robust.</p><p>While processed concentration data is the primary output of most analyses, deeper insight can be gained by examining the <strong>underlying signal intensities</strong>. Replicate measurements, for instance, provide a direct assessment of analytical precision. Consistent replicate signals indicate stable measurement conditions, whereas significant variation may suggest issues such as sample heterogeneity, nebuliser instability, or matrix interference. Similarly, blank intensities can reveal contamination or insufficient rinsing between samples, often serving as an early indicator of systematic error. In ICP-OES, spectral <strong>sub-array views</strong> allow analysts to visualise the emission profile around a selected wavelength, enabling verification of peak shape, background correction points, and potential spectral overlaps. In <strong>ICP-MS</strong>, attention must be given to <strong>detector behaviour</strong>, particularly when signals transition between pulse and analog modes at higher concentrations. Such transitions can introduce non-linearity into calibration curves, sometimes necessitating cross-calibration to maintain quantitative accuracy.</p><p><strong>Calibration </strong>is central to transforming raw signal intensity into quantitative concentration data, and its evaluation is one of the most critical steps in the workflow. Several performance indicators are used to <strong>assess calibration quality</strong>. The <strong>coefficient of determination</strong> (<strong>R²</strong>) provides a measure of how well the calibration model fits the data, though a high R² alone does not guarantee accuracy. Bias offers insight into systematic deviations between expected and measured values, highlighting potential issues with standards or instrument response. <strong>Detection limits</strong>, including the <strong>limit of detection </strong>(<strong>LOD</strong>) and<strong> instrument detection limit</strong> (<strong>IDL</strong>), define the sensitivity of the method, while <strong>background equivalent concentration</strong> (<strong>BEC</strong>) reflects the contribution of background signal to the overall measurement. A comprehensive calibration assessment requires consideration of all these parameters together, rather than reliance on a single metric. In addition, quality control samples—such as <strong>calibration check standards </strong>(<strong>CCVs</strong>),<strong> certified reference materials</strong> (<strong>CRMs</strong>), and <strong>matrix spikes</strong>—are used to verify accuracy and method performance. Automated flagging of QC results that fall outside predefined acceptance criteria provides an efficient means of identifying non-compliant data and supports rapid decision-making.</p><p>Equally important is the <strong>evaluation of instrument performance</strong> through diagnostic readbacks recorded during the analysis. These parameters provide insight into the physical and operational state of the instrument at the time of measurement. For<strong> ICP-MS</strong>, key readbacks include <strong>nebuliser gas pressure, vacuum levels, and interface conditions</strong>. Changes in these parameters can indicate issues such as partial blockages, salt deposition, or vacuum degradation. <strong>Similarly, plasma-related parameters and gas flow stability</strong> are critical indicators in <strong>both ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems</strong>. By correlating readback trends with analytical results, analysts can identify the root causes of anomalies, distinguish between instrument-related and sample-related issues, and take corrective action where necessary. This diagnostic capability is particularly valuable when troubleshooting unexpected results or when sharing data with technical support teams for further investigation.</p><p>Once the data has been thoroughly reviewed and validated, the <strong>final step is to export and communicate the results </strong>in a clear and usable format. Structured reporting tools enable the generation of comprehensive summaries that include concentration data, calibration details, quality control results, and any associated flags or annotations. These reports are essential for documentation, regulatory submissions, and communication with stakeholders. For greater flexibility, exporting data in CSV format allows integration with external tools such as spreadsheet software, statistical analysis platforms, or laboratory information management systems (LIMS). This interoperability facilitates advanced data analysis, long-term data storage, and seamless integration into broader laboratory workflows.</p><h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3><p>In conclusion, post-acquisition data processing is not merely a procedural step but a critical component of the analytical workflow that determines the reliability and scientific validity of results. Through careful organisation of data, rigorous application of correction models, detailed evaluation of calibration performance, and continuous monitoring of instrument diagnostics, analysts can ensure that their results are both accurate and defensible. As analytical technologies continue to evolve and datasets become increasingly complex, the importance of robust and systematic data evaluation will only grow. Mastery of these workflows transforms raw instrumental signals into high-quality scientific information, underpinning confident decision-making across a wide range of applications.</p><h3><strong>Acknowledgement</strong></h3><p>I would like to thank&nbsp;<strong>Matthew Gregory&nbsp;</strong>Field Applications Scientist, North EMEA, Trace Elemental Analysis and&nbsp;<strong>David Fishwick&nbsp;</strong>Field Applications Scientist, North EMEA, Trace Elemental Analysis for the support on this blog and the webinars.</p><p>Sign up for our webinars live and on demand.</p><p><strong>English</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/webinar/5795"><strong>Lunch and Learn Tips and Tricks Series: Qtegra Part 1</strong></a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/webinar/5976"><strong>Lunch and Learn Tips and Tricks Series: Qtegra Part 2</strong></a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/webinar/5977"><strong>Lunch and Learn Tips and Tricks Series: Trace Elemental Analysis (ICP-OES &amp; ICP-MS)</strong></a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/webinar/5978"><strong>Trace Elemental Analysis: Ask the Expert</strong></a></li></ul><p><strong>Deutsch</strong></p><ul><li><strong>19.

Shimadzu: Discriminating between Microsamples of Similar Resins with a Combination of FTIR and Thermal Analysis Instruments</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_01_01114_en_a9291de45e.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>User Benefits</strong></h4><ul><li>Using the ATR method with FTIR spectroscopy enables simple and rapid qualitative analysis of polymers.</li><li>DSC analysis may be able to reveal differences in polymer thermal histories that cannot be confirmed by FTIR alone.</li><li>TG-DTA can be used to confirm the content level of inorganic additives in polymers</li></ul><p>A wide range of polymer resins is used in modern society for diverse applications, resulting in increasing demand for qualitative analysis of resin microsamples, such as identifying resin contaminants in products or qualitatively evaluating microplastics for environmental impact assessments. FTIR spectrophotometers are commonly used for qualitative analysis of polymers. In particular, the ATR (attenuated total reflectance) method is widely used because measurements can be performed simply and quickly by clamping a sample against a prism to ensure close contact.&nbsp;</p><p>While the ATR method makes it relatively easy to discriminate between different types of polymers, clear differences may not appear when analyzing similar polymers—for example, when there are only slight differences in the type or content of additives or the thermal histories during manufacturing. In such cases, differences may be confirmed by using thermal analysis instruments, such as a DSC or TG-DTA system.&nbsp;</p><p>This article describes an example in which three instruments— an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=IRSpirit-TX"><strong>IRSpirit-TX</strong></a> FTIR spectrophotometer, a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=DSC-60+Plus"><strong>DSC-60 Plus</strong></a> differential scanning calorimeter, and a DTG-60 simultaneous DTA-TG unit (Fig. 1)—were used to confirm differences among six microsamples of polypropylene (PP) resin.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion</strong></h4><p>Details of the six types of PP resin identified from the above measurement results are shown in Table 4. The results indicate that by using an FTIR spectrophotometer in combination with thermal analysis equipment, such as DSC and TG-DTA systems, it is possible to distinguish between minute amounts of the same type of resin with various different properties.</p><h3><strong>3. Thermo Fisher Scientific: XPS depth profiling of advanced solar cells with femtosecond laser ablation</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/xps_depth_profiling_advanced_solar_cells_appnote_7bda4471a5.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Perovskites are an emerging class of materials in the solar cell industry, exhibiting a number of promising properties, such as improved efficiency and weight, compared to traditional silicon-based devices. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is an established tool in solar cell research due to its ability to provide extremely surface-sensitive information about elemental composition along with chemical and electronic states.¹ XPS is ultimately a surface analysis technique, however, and in order to assess the full composition of complex, multi-layered structures such as solar cells, a technique known as depth profiling is necessary, which performs multiple rounds of successive material removal and analysis.&nbsp;</p><p>This application note explores a recent study by Chandler et al. that focuses on solar cells designed for aerospace applications,² where accurate determination of the “true” starting composition of the stacks is essential for tests that simulate space conditions, such as radiation exposure. Without a reliable baseline, it becomes impossible to distinguish between changes induced by the experimental conditions and artifacts introduced during analysis. Conventional ion beam sputtering methods used for depth profiling are known to distort chemical information for perovskites; femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA) is presented as a novel, alternative method that helps to preserve vital chemical information.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><p>A halide-perovskite-based solar cell was fabricated on an ITO/SnO₂ substrate using a spin coating method; the structure of the layers is shown in Figure 1.</p><p>Analysis was performed with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products/2206"><strong>Thermo Scientific™ Hypulse™ Surface Analysis System</strong></a>, which is equipped with both traditional ion-beam sputtering and femtosecond-laser ablation capabilities. XPS data was collected in SnapShot acquisition mode using an X-ray spot size of 30-200 µm, depending on the method of depth profiling.&nbsp;</p><p>A MAGCIS ion gun was employed for the sputter depth profiles, generating either a 500 eV monatomic Ar⁺ beam or 8 keV Ar₁₅₀⁺ clusters. The fs-LA depth profiles were generated using a 1,030 nm wavelength laser operating at a 160 fs pulse length. The pulse energy was increased from 42 µJ to 167 µJ when transitioning from the perovskite layer into the substrate structure. A flood gun was employed for charge neutralization during profiling.</p><h4><strong>Summary&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>This study confirms the challenges associated with traditional ion sputtering (both monatomic and cluster) for the depth profiling of perovskite-based solar cells. These methods cause preferential sputtering, particularly of lighter elements like carbon, nitrogen, and iodine, which distorts elemental ratios in the profiles and results in artificial signals, such as the formation of metallic lead (Pb⁰). Depth profiling with femtosecond laser ablation represents a novel and robust alternative that preserves the original chemical composition and oxidation states throughout the perovskite layer. By avoiding preferential removal effects, accurate compositional information is maintained during the profile, and erroneous peak signals associated with chemical reduction are eliminated. These factors are vital in establishing a chemically undisturbed baseline before performing tests that simulate environmental effects on the solar cells.&nbsp;</p><p>With fs-LA depth profiling, any induced changes can be confidently delineated from analytical artifacts, and researchers can better understand and mitigate environmental effects on solar-cell performance, eventually leading to improved solar technologies for aerospace applications.</p>
