Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry: Sample Analysis of Arsenic and Selenium

Abstract

Members of the Forensic Analytical Center at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD) were requested to analyze samples that were suspected of containing arsenic and/or selenium using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). The capability to process samples for specific elemental components allows for scientists to further analyze the samples for specific chemical warfare materials.
