Trace Metal Characterisation of Soils Using the Optima 7300 DV ICP-OES

6 Sept 2011

PerkinElmer Analytical highlight the use of the simultaneous ICP-OES (Optima 7300 DV) for analysis of soil samples in this application note. Trace metal constitutions of soil samples were determined successfully at very low levels. The Multiwave™ 3000 microwave digestion system was followed by ICP analysis, and determined the total metal content in the various soil samples. This type of analysis can be used to assess soil health, identify problematic soils and their nutritional status, and aid in the development of soil-specific and crop-specific solutions.
