Abstract:

Inductively coupled plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) has rapidly become an established method for multielemental analysis of geological samples in the recent years, offering rapid analysis capabilities, an ability to measure most elements in the periodic table and relative straightforward sample preparation.However, it is increasingly apparent that fully quantitative measurement by ICP-MS can only be achieved provided variation in instrument sensitivity during the course of an analytical run and the introduction of different matrices be minimized or monitored and corrected for.
