N. Onda, A NEW APPROACH TO EXTENDING THE DYNAMIC-RANGE IN INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY, Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 178(1), 1996, pp. 91-99
By the use of a new simultaneous dual stage discrete detector for indu
ctively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), a linear dynamic ra
nge of 8 orders of magnitude was achieved in a single spectral scan. T
he design of the detection system and its evaluation are described. Th
e acquisition of the full spectrum of a human urine sample in a single
scan is shown.
