Title: Final Report on Jobin Yvon Contained Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/809095· OSTI ID:809095

A new Inductively Coupled Plasma -- Emission Spectrometer (ICP-ES) was recently purchased and installed in Lab B-147/151 at SRTC. The contained JY Model Ultima 170-C ICP-ES has been tested and compared to current ADS ICP-ES instrumentation. The testing has included both performance tests to evaluate instrumental ability, and the measurement of matrix standards commonly analyzed by ICP-ES at Savannah River. In developing operating procedures for this instrument, we have implemented the use of internal standards and off-peak background subtraction. Both of these techniques are recommended by EPA SW-846 ICP-ES methods and are common to current ICP-ES operations. Based on the testing and changes, the JY Model Ultima 170-C ICP-ES provides improved performance for elemental analysis of radioactive samples in the Analytical Development Section.
