This application note describes the use of the Agilent 7500c ICP-MS system to measure major, minor and trace elements in two standard reference plant materials.
The document describes the use of the Agilent 7500c ICP-MS system equipped with an Octopole Reaction System (ORS) for analyzing major, minor, and trace elements in standard reference plant materials. The study compares results obtained with the 7500c against certified reference values and data from inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The analysis confirms that the 7500c provides accurate results for all elements, effectively handling complex sample matrices.
| Plasma RF power | 1500 W |
|---|---|
| Sample flow rate | 240 pL/min |
| Spray chamber temperature | 2°C |
| Carrier gas flow | 1.1 L/min |
| Sample depth | 9.5 mm from load coil |
The analysis covered major, minor, and trace elements including Potassium, Calcium, Chromium, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Arsenic, Selenium, and Cadmium.
The system uses an Octopole Reaction System (ORS) to remove spectral interferences by reacting a gas with the interference or using energy discrimination.
