ICP-MS CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
ICP-MS analysis (Inductively Coupled Plasma / Mass Spectrometry) is a very sensitive elemental testing technique that provides very low detection limits for most elements present in a sample.
Low-level elements are identified for the following:
- Process solutions and chemical baths
- Ion release elements in medical simulation solutions
- Heavy metals in medical applications and wear debris testing
ICP-MS ANALYSIS IDENTIFICATION OF ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION
- Aluminum
- Iron-Based Metal
- Nickel
- Cobalt
- Copper
- Titanium Alloys
- Polymers
- Plastics
How an ICP-MS Test is Performed
Samples need to be in solution form, which requires solid samples to be dissolved. Test specimens are digested with a combination of acids appropriate for the chemical composition testing of the alloy.
The ICP-MS instrument measures the mass-to-charge ratio of a high-temperature plasma sample that becomes ionized.
The instrument is calibrated per use, using calibration standards designated by laboratory personnel, such as Quality Management. The calibration standards are matrix matched (Ni, Fe, Ti, etc.) to the samples being analyzed. Elements to be analyzed are added to calibration standards using NIST traceable solution standards. Calibration curves usually consist of 3-6 calibration standards.
