Robust and reliable analysis of soil samples using single quadrupole ICP-MS

Soil is an essential part of our ecosystem and plays an important role in the development and sustainability of the biosphere. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a technique that is widely used for the elemental analysis of complex samples such as soil and sludge digests. Explore how the new Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ MSX ICP-MS was used for the analysis of soils, sludges, and sediments. Argon Gas Dilution (AGD) reduced the manual work involved in sample dilution, and at the same time, enhanced the overall matrix tolerance of the system to different environmental samples. Discover how AGD can be used to readily deliver repeatable and reliable results with high accuracy and sensitivity in laboratories tasked to analyze high sample loads.
