The Top 13 Articles from Spectroscopy in 2013
Everyone loves a list, and the editors of Spectroscopy are no exception! In 2013, Spectroscopy covered a wide array of topics throughout the year to bring you the most relevant information for your work, on topics ranging from selecting the right ICP-MS system to deciding which Raman technique is right for you, from our annual salary survey to calibration transfer. Here is a list of 13 popular articles and columns from 2013. MORE » |

Extracting Tiny Samples for Mass Spectrometry Analysis
Guido F. Verbeck, an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Texas (Denton, Texas), has been developing a technique called direct analyte-probed nanoextraction (DAPNe). Verbeck is using DAPNe, coupled to nanospray ionization mass spectrometry (MS), in a variety of applications, including forensic analyses. Spectroscopy asked Verbeck about his work with this method and how it is used. MORE » |

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%.
Note: This interview appeared in last week's newsletter, but with an incorrect link. The correct link is provided here.

Rhenium Coil Field Sampling for Determinations by ICP-AES with Electrothermal Vaporization Introduction
A demonstration that portable coiled-filament assemblies can be used for taking part of the laboratory to the sample and concentration determination in a laboratory using near-torch vaporization (NTV)–inductively coupled plasma (ICP)–atomic emission spectroscopy (AES). 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
Tuesday, February 11, 2014
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.
