V. Karanassios et al., ELECTRICALLY HEATED WIRE-LOOP, IN-TORCH VAPORIZATION (ITV) SAMPLE INTRODUCTION SYSTEM FOR ICP-AES WITH PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE DETECTION AND ICP-MS, Spectrochimica acta, Part B: Atomic spectroscopy, 50(4-7), 1995, pp. 415-423
In this first report on an electrically heated, Re wire-loop in-torch
vaporization (ITV) sample introduction system for ICP-AES with photomu
ltiplier tube detection and ICP-MS, some preliminary results obtained
for Pb, Cd, Zn and Sr are presented. An un-optimized, manually operate
d ITV system and 10 mu l volumes have been used. Estimated absolute de
tection limits are (in pg) Zn (26), Pb (25), Cd (41) and Sr (0.12) for
ITV-ICP-AES and Zn (0.04), Pb (0.12), Cd (0.11) and Sr (0.32) for ITV
-ICP-MS.
