Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques: A Tutorial for Beginners (Practical Spectroscopy)

The Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques is a comprehensive tutorial for beginners and experienced analytical scientists alike, offering a fresh perspective on this powerful tool.

With updated chapters on fundamental principles and applications, as well as new chapters on complementary techniques such as AA, AF, ICP-OES, MIP-AES, XRF, XRD, LIBS, and LALI-TOFMS, this book provides a thorough understanding of the technology.

The author compares ICP-MS with other techniques, giving readers insight into why it was developed and how it has evolved over time. The book covers strategies for reducing errors and contamination, collision and reaction cells, novel sample introduction methods, alternative digestion approaches, and comprehensive glossary of terms used in atomic spectroscopy.

The author also provides guidance on evaluating commercial instrumentation and selecting the best technique based on specific application demands. With a foreword by Dr.

Heidi Goenaga Infante, LGC Science Fellow, this book is not only suitable for novices but also for experienced analytical scientists looking to stay up-to-date with recent ICP-MS developments and future opportunities.

The author's unique approach makes this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in plasma spectrochemistry instrumentation and its applications.
