Optimizing Analysis of Oils and Organic Solvents by ICPOES
Agilnt Technologies: Optimizing Analysis of Oils and Organic Solvents by ICPOES
We will cover steps to ensure maximum stability and robustness in organic solvent analysis using proper hardware selection, optimized plasma conditions, and background correction techniques.
Neat analysis of solvents is an excellent alternative to ashing methods, which have large dilution factors that can push limits of detection too high. Data will be shared from analysis of several different solvents from kerosene to chloroform.
