| Abstract: | Thermospray vaporization. utilizing an electrically heated stainless steel capillary as a nebulization device. was studied as a means of sample introduction into the inductively coupled plasma. Vapor stripping thermospray vaporization. which included a heated spray chamber and condenser to remove excessive solvent vapor before injection into the plasma. resulted in an cight fold improvement in sensitivity. |
