Field-Portable Sampling for ICP Spectrometry: Bringing a Part of the Lab to the Sample
Conventional pneumatic nebulizer–spray chamber combinations for ICP spectrometry have a sample introduction efficiency of only 1–3%. A unique electrothermal vaporization device developed by Vassili Karanassios of the University of Waterloo uses field-portable rhenium filament coils with a very small vaporization chamber and increases the sample introduction efficiency to 100%.

Spectroscopy and the Atomic Number
The year 2013 represents the centennial of a seminal discovery about our universe. Key data that led to the discovery were obtained from spectroscopy. This final installment of David Ball's column, The Baseline, details the history of how the atomic number came to be and the discoveries it led to. MORE » |

Raman Spectroscopy Coupled with Advanced Chemometrics for Forensic Analysis of Semen and Blood Mixtures
In this study, regression and classification chemometrical algorithms were combined to achieve effective discrimination of pure body fluids from their binary mixtures. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a nondestructive, confirmatory method for the identification of trace amounts of body fluids for forensic purposes. MORE » |

Market Profile: Elemental Analyzers
While some atomic spectrometry systems can generally detect and quantify any element in the periodic table, other instruments are specifically designed to measure only one, or at most a few, elements of interest in a particular application. MORE » |

Editors' Series: Understanding the Underlying Mechanisms of ICP-OES and ICP-MS
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
11:00 AM EST
We will discuss insights into the underlying mechanisms of ICP-OES and ICP-MS obtained through computer modeling of an inductively coupled plasma. We will also show the occurrence of rotational motion of the auxiliary and central gas flows, and how this can be avoided by changing the operating conditions or the geometrical parameters. Finally, we will show the trajectory of particles inserted in the ICP, and its consequences for ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses.

Advancing Elemental Determinations in Food and Geological Samples with Next Generation MP-AES Technology

11:00 AM EST/ 4:00 PM GMT/ 5:00 PM CET
Reliable and robust, easy to use, and cost effective – these are the reasons that flame AA has remained as a technology of choice in these application areas. In recent years, the expansion in use of MP-AES as a replacement for flame AA highlights the evolving needs of the modern laboratory, with an even greater emphasis on cost effective elemental analysis, and the ability to measure lower levels of the target elements with less sample preparation and improved safety. Join us to hear Shane Elliott, Marketing Manager of Atomic Spectroscopy, discuss next-generation MP-AES technology and how to ensure your laboratory meets its financial and sample throughput requirements.

Raise Your Expectations; Learn How the New Agilent 7900 ICP-MS Redefines ICP-MS Performance
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
11:00 AM EST/ 4:00 PM GMT/ 5:00 PM CET
Metals labs that use ICP-MS have always had to accept the limitations — limited tolerance to high dissolved solids, and a dynamic range that can't reach the major elements. No longer! With the new Agilent 7900 ICP-MS, very high total dissolved samples matrices (e.g., 25% NaCl brine) can be measured routinely, and major elements at % concentration levels can be quantified in the same run as ppt-level traces. Learn how Agilent redefines ICP-MS performance.
