Chapter 1: Inductively-Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy 2

Part 1: Preparation

1 hour

Correct sample collection and preparation is important for samples to be analysed by ICP-OES. We highlight standard preparation and considerations for the best calibration algorithms. We demonstrate how to develop a software analysis program for a multi-element set and an analysis sequence for a batch of standards

Part 2: Operation

1 hour

This section deals with preparation of the ICP-OES instrument for measurement, with checks on the services and condition, and the steps of operation and shut-down. We also discuss optimisation for a small element measurement set, and how to recognise and deal with matrix effects.

Part 3: Care

1 hour

We present details of routine operator maintenance, which needs to be attended to for continuing efficient performance and good condition of equipment. We also cover troubleshooting by observing performance parameters and identifying and eliminating any problems.

Part 4: Accessories

1 hour
Graded

We describe the Automatic Sample Changer and the Ultrasonic Nebulizer, their features, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting
