Sample introduction systems electrothermal methods

The power of this MS technique has driven the development of methods to interface ICP/MS instruments with various sample introduction systems. Specialized sample introduction systems include ion chromatography (Seubert, 2001), gas chromatography (Vonderheide et al., 2002), and capillary electrophoresis (Costa-Fernandez et al., 2000). Other techniques are hydride generation (used to volatilize selected species and obtain some matrix/elemental separation) (Reyes et al., 2003) (Bings et al., 2002) laser ablation (Gonzalez et al., 2002 Heinrich et al., 2003 Russo et al., 2002), and electrothermal vaporization (Richardson, 2001 Vanhaecke and Moens, 1999).
