Recent developments in sequential ICP-AES technology

The features of the Liberty 100/200 sequential ICP-AES systems are illustrated with particular reference to light throughput and optical resolution. The analysis of P in a Cu matrix and the separation into two peaks of the Tl line at 190.80 nm are discussed as examples to highlight the performance of the systems. The ability to operate in the first, second, third, and fourth orders is believed to substantially improve the quality of spectrometric measurements.
