How is Sample Preparation for ICP-MS Conducted in Catalysis?
Sample preparation for ICP-MS in catalysis involves several steps to ensure accurate and reliable results:
Sample digestion: Catalysts are often digested using strong acids to convert them into a liquid form suitable for ICP-MS analysis. Dilution: The digested sample is diluted to bring element concentrations within the instrument's dynamic range. Matrix matching: Calibration standards are prepared in a matrix similar to the samples to minimize matrix effects.
