Instrument parameters affecting solid sampling with electrothermal atomizers and vaporizers

Instrument parameters affecting solid sampling with electrothermal atomizers and vaporizers 

As stated above, the sample dispensed into the furnace is subjected to a multi-step temperature programme. When the temperature is increased to the point where sample atomization or vaporization occurs, measurements are made directly or after transporting the vapour to the ICP torch or MS instrument. The variables under operator control in this situation are as follows  

The value of each of these instrument parameters to be used in each step depends on the instrument itself, the sample matrix and the analyte.
