Description

Plasma sources for mass spectrometry provide an efficient means of ionizing most of the elements. This book looks at the most popular and widely used of these sources - inductively coupled plasma. It shows the problems associated with the method, such as spectral overlap from polyatomic ions and the inefficiency of element ionization by plasmas formed with argon. Alternative gases to highly purified argon are discussed, as well as microwave induced plasmas. Inductively Coupled and Microwave Induced Plasma Sources for Mass Spectrometry looks at how the primary mass spectrometric applications solve problems of this sort, and includes the following discussions: * interfacing atmospheric plasmas, formed in a variety of gases, with mass spectrometry * atomization and ionization characteristics * polyatomic ion interferences * interfacing chromatographic techniques This book presents practical application of the theory in a "tutorial" style, for the most important research in the field. It places particular emphasis on interfacing microwave and inductively coupled plasmas with mass spectrometry, and interfacing chromatographic techniques, and should be read by graduate students and researchers in instrumentation, chromatography, applied spectroscopy and other areas of analytical chemistry.
