FIGURE 7.9 A low abundance sensitivity speeifieation is critical to minimize spectral interferences, as shown by (a), which represents a speetral sean of 50 ppb of En++ at 75.5 amu, and (b), which shows how the tail of the En++ elevates the spectral background of 1 ppb of As at mass 75 (copyright 2003—2007, all rights reserved, PerkinEhner Ine.).
