This application note describes the method of using the ultrasonic nebulizer with a high resolution ICP spectrometer to analyze urine and seawater samples
The document describes a method for determining trace elements in urine and seawater samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) combined with an ultrasonic nebulizer. The study focuses on the instrument's ability to handle dissolved solids found in these matrices.
The dissolved solids content of seawater can be up to 3.5% w/v.
The sample uptake rate is 1.8 mL/min.
The USN heating temperature is 140 °C.
