Carbon-related matrix effects in inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

The benefits and limitations of reaction cell and sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in the detection and quantification of phosphopeptides

“…organic solvents) to an ICP‐MS instrument will change a number of ICP‐related processes along with this gradient. These parameters include the plasma temperature, the ionization process in the plasma and carbon deposition at the cones . Also, a signal enhancement or suppression during this gradient is an important factor which should be considered.…”

Determination of Inorganic Contaminants in Electrical and Electronic Equipment after Digestion Using Microwave-Assisted Single Reaction Chamber

“…17,18,23,27,28 On the other hand, polyatomic interferences due to the presence of C must also be considered, in particular for Cr determination. 28 This makes important to develop digestion methods able to generate digests containing low carbon content as well as low residual acidity, which are suitable for analyses using plasma-based techniques.…”

“…16 In this way, closed systems that allows the use of high temperature and pressure are required for digestion of EEE in order to obtain relatively high efficiency of digestion, resulting in low values of residual carbon content (RCC) and low residual acidity. 8,9 These are important characteristics of digests to avoid interferences in the determination step by ICP OES 17 and ICP-MS 18 and can be considered dependent of the digestion method and system used as well as of the sample.…”

Plasma-based determination of inorganic contaminants in waste of electric and electronic equipment after microwave-induced combustion

“…However, incomplete digestion is frequently reported for polymers if systems with high pressure and temperature are not used [24]. Moreover, even in this case, digests can contain high amounts of dissolved carbon, which can result in interferences in determination step using spectrometric techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) and also ICP-MS [27][28][29][30][31][32]. For this reason, high amounts of concentrated acids are commonly required for complete digestion, resulting in digests with high residual acidity that can also lead to interferences in plasma based techniques.…”
