Looking to learn more about ICP-MS sample introduction? Separation Science, in collaboration with Agilent, offers a series of video tutorials to help you improve your skills in ICP-MS analysis. In the first tutorial in the series, presenter Gareth Pearson does a deep dive into ICP-MS sample introduction, taking you from the peristaltic pump (for sample delivery) through to ion extraction and into the MS detector. You’ll also learn valuable tips and discover resources for additional information.
Key learning outcomes you can expect from this tutorial include:
- Learn what components make up the ICP-MS sample introduction system
- Understand the purpose and function of each component
- Know the types of components and when to use them
- Learn some tips for care and maintenance of the sample introduction system
Run time: 15 minutes
There are a total of four tutorials in the series, with the remaining modules covering ICP-MS application-specific setup, ICP-MS speciation, and laser ablation (LA) ICP-MS.
