Contamination Challenges in ICP Trace Metals Analysis: Key Considerations for Accurate Results
Inorganic Venture's very Lesley Owens will be speaking at the Gulf Coast Conference on October 14th.
Achieving reliable trace metals measurements by ICP requires strict contamination control, as even minor impurities can affect accuracy near detection limits. This presentation will highlight common contamination sources throughout the analytical workflow and offer practical strategies to minimize them. Topics include sample preparation, calibration standard purity, and contamination from labware, instrumentation, and the environment. Emphasis will be placed on high-purity reagents and risks associated with container materials and sample introduction systems. Attendees will gain clear insights into contamination risks and best practices to improve data quality, reproducibility, and confidence in low-level ICP trace metals analysis.
