Opening the Analytical Black Box: Insights into Interferences, Corrections, and Data Quality
Abstract
GF-AAS is an old technique, but nevertheless useful and an important tool in the toolbox. Using standard ICP-AES emission wavelengths and known IEC is usually fine, but certain interferences require alternative correction methods, such as MSF. ICP-MS is has interferences that can t be corrected mathematically. Using standard isotopes and correction equations is generally fine, but at least monitor other isotopes and monitor with and without correction equations. Collision or Reaction Cell ICP-MS does not takes care of all other interferences in ICP-MS, but is a powerful tool if understood and used properly.
