Analysis of Metals in Semiconductor and Industrial Gases with ICP-MS

Sign Up Now>>
Three basic methodologies involved in dealing with the analysis of gases by ICP-MS will be discussed. The first is determination of metals transported in the gas phase, either by particulate or as a gas phase species. The second is measurement of vapor phase metallics that are not hydrolyzable but are soluble in organic solutions. The third and most interesting is the application of ICP-MS as a GC detector. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of collision cell technology (CCT), the technology used for those species that present interference problems.
