Abstract

Analytical figures of merit for nine elements (viz. Ag, Cd, Pb, Ni, Be, Fe, Bi, Cu, and P) are presented that serve to broadly characterize the furnace atomization plasma emission spectrometry technique. Detection power lies in the low picogram region; precision of replicate signals obtained with injection of samples by hand ranges from 2.2 to 12.1% relative standard deviation and the linear range of calibration spans 2-4 orders of magnitude. Relative sensitivities of alternative atom and ion lines are given for each element. Sufficient energy is available to efficiently detect analyte ion lines having excitation energies of up to 13 eV. Static and dynamic background spectra are presented which reveal broad-band contributions from molecular species such as CO, N{sub 2}, NO, and OH as well as atom lines from the He support gas.

Liquid Sampling-Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge (LS-APGD) Ionization Source for Elemental Mass Spectrometry: Preliminary Parametric Evaluation and Figures of Merit

Journal Article Quarles, C.; Carado, Anthony; Barinaga, Charles; ... - Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

A new, low power ionization source for the elemental analysis of aqueous solutions has recently been described. The liquid sampling-atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) source operates at relatively low currents (<20 mA) and solution flow rates (<50 μL min-1), yielding a relatively simple alternative for atomic mass spectrometry applications. The LS-APGD has been interfaced to what is otherwise an organic, LC-MS mass analyzer, the Thermo Scientific Exactive Orbitrap without any modifications; other than removing the electrospray ionization (ESI) source supplied with that instrument. A glow discharge is initiated between the surface of the test solution exiting a glass capillary andmore »« less

Laser-excited atomic fluorescence spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry in flames and graphite tube furnaces

Thesis/Dissertation Dougherty, J

Laser Excited Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (LEAFS) and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) were investigated to improve techniques for analyzing trace and ultratrace levels of metals in complicated matrices. The atom cells used for LEAFS were two differently designed graphite tube furnaces and an air/acetylene flame. For AAS, a graphite tube furnace was used as the atom cell. The AAS limit of detection for manganese was investigated when the commercial light source, a hollow cathode lamp, was replaced with a microwave excited electrodeless discharge lamp (EDL). The lack of long term stability and the broadening of the emission profile of the EDL,more »« less
Curve resolution and figures of merit estimation for determination of trace elements in geological materials by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

Journal Article Lorber, A; Harel, A; Goldbart, Z; ... - Anal. Chem.; (United States)

In geochemical analysis using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), spectral interferences and background enhancement in response to sample concomitants are the main cause of deterioration of the limit of detection (LOD) and inaccuracy of the determination at the trace and minor element levels. In this account, the authors describe the chemometric procedure of curve resolution for compensating for these sources of error. A newly developed method for calculating figures of merit is used to evaluate the correction procedure, test the statistical significance of the determined concentration, and determine LODs for each sample. The technique involves scanning the vicinitymore »« less

Atmospheric-pressure solution-cathode glow discharge: A versatile ion source for atomic and molecular mass spectrometry

Journal Article Schwartz, Andrew; Williams, Kelsey; Hieftje, Gary; ... - Analytica Chimica Acta

We report an atmospheric-pressure solution-cathode glow discharge (SCGD) has been evaluated as an ion source for atomic, molecular, and ambient desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The SCGD consists of a direct-current plasma, supported in the ambient air in the absence of gas flows, and sustained upon the surface of a flowing liquid cathode. Analytes introduced in the flowing liquid, as an ambient gas, or as a solid held near the plasma are vaporized and ionized by interactions within or near the discharge. Introduction of acidic solutions containing metal salts produced bare elemental ions as well as H₂O, OH^- and NO₃^- adducts. Detectionmore »« less

Development of rapid slurry methods for flame and direct current plasma emission and graphite furnace atomic absorption analysis of solid animal tissue

Thesis/Dissertation Fietkau, R

Studies are presented describing developments in the rapid, direct atomic spectrochemical analysis of meat samples by the technique of slurry atomization. The number of elements that can be determined in meat slurry samples has been increased and the concentration range that can be detected extended to included analysis at the part per billion as well as the percent level. Slurry atomization involves the rapid preparation procedure whereby the sample is simple homogenized with deionized distilled water prior to analysis. In this manner, rapid, quantitative analysis of hot dogs (processed meat) for dietary salt (Na, K) was achieved by premixed air-naturalmore »« less
