Alternative Sample Introduction Techniques

Updated chapter on alternative sample introduction techniques, including all the new commercially available systems... 

Alternative Sample Introduction Techniques Nonstandard sampling accessories like laser ablation systems, flow injection analyzers, electrothermal vaporizers, cooled spray chambers, desolvation equipment, direct injection nebulizers, and automated sample delivery systans and dilu-tors are considered critical to enhancing the practical capabilities of the technique. Their use has increased significantly over the past few years as ICP-MS is being asked to solve more and more diverse application problems. This chapter reflects the increased interest in sampling accessories, especially in the area of specialized sample introduction and desolvation devices to reduce the impact of conunon interferences.
