  1. Major Components of ICP-AES Sample Delivery System - pump, nebulizer, spray chamber Inductively Coupled Plasma - torch, RF generator Spectrometer - Monochrometer, photomultiplier tube

  2. Plasma • Plasma source provides atomization • Plasma: “a gas-like phase of matter that consists of charged particles”2 • ICP-AES plasma source is from the carrier gas

  3. Ultrasonic nebulizer with desolvation

  4. Sequential ICP-AES Instrumentation

  5. Radiofrequency Generator

  6. Optics and Detectors

  7. Typical Echellogram

  8. Poor Detection Limits on Certain Trace Elements • Examples of interferences include: • 40Ar16O on the determination of 56Fe • 38ArH on the determination of 39K • 40Ar on the determination of 40Ca • 40Ar40Ar on the determination of 80Se • Solution: the cold/cool plasma
