Description
The analysis of solid samples by means
of electro-thermal evaporation is an excellent
supplementary method when determining
the elements in a dissolved or
solubilized sample.
ICP spectrometry (inductively coupled
plasma) offers advantages in all cases
where dissolution of the sample involves
a considerable effort, e.g. with mineral
and ceramic samples, environmental
samples such as sediment, sludge, dust,
and also vegetable samples, etc. Furthermore,
metallic samples can be analyzed
quickly and simply by means of an electro-
thermal evaporator.
The main features of the ETV 4000 evaporator
are:
- No cost and time-consuming
dissolution of samples required.
- Increased detection sensitivity up to a
factor of 100, because the
dilution factor is eliminated, and
practically 100% of the sample is
contained in the plasma (as opposed
to about 5% with dissolution analysis).
- Reduced risk of errors, because there
is no contamination, adsorption, or
evaporation etc. resulting from the
dissolution process.
