Dispel your Diffraction Doubts
The McCrone Micronising Mill solves problematic preparation of solid samples for XRD or XRF spectroscopic analysis and is widely acknowledged to be one of the most effective means of reducing sample to sub-micron sizes suitable for this type of analysis.
What makes it so effective is the unique grinding action of the cylinders producing both linear contact blows and planar shearing; and the ability to discover the true material composition by using the Volborth dual grinding method.  Please click here for more information |

Possibilities and Limitations of ICP Spectroscopy for Trace Analysis
Speaker: Jose-Luis Todolí, professor, Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition, and Food Sciences, University of Alicante (Alicante, Spain)
This is a FREE streaming audio Webcast and does not require a phone line. If you have any questions regarding this Webcast, please contact Jamie Carpenter, [email protected]
Inductively coupled plasma spectrometry comprises atomic emission (ICP-AES) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) techniques. Whereas the former appears to be more robust, the latter shows excellent limits of detection that may be close to the parts-per-trillion or parts-per-quadrillion level. However, matrix effects are an important issue in both cases. Nonspectral interferences, unwanted effects from the plasma itself, degradation in the thermal characteristics of the plasma “space charge effect,” spectral interferences, and possible remedies, will be discussed.
