Sample Introduction Systems in ICPMS and ICPOES provides an in-depth analysis of sample introduction strategies, including flow injection analysis and less common techniques, such as arc/spark ablation and direct sample insertion. The book critically evaluates what has been accomplished so far, along with what can be done to extend the capabilities of the technique for analyses of any type of sample, such as aqueous, gaseous or solid. The latest progress made in fields, such as FIA, ETV, LC-ICP-MS and CE-ICP-MS is included and critically discussed. The book addresses problems related to the optimization of the system, peak dispersion and calibration and automatization. Provides contributions from recognized experts that give credibility to each chapter as a reference source Presents a single source, providing the big picture for ICPMS and ICPOES Covers theory, methods, selected applications and discrete sampling techniques Includes access to core data for practical work, comparison of results and decision-making

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) constitutes a very attractive alternative to radiochemical techniques for the determination of long-lived radionuclides considered critical for the safety of nuclear waste repositories. By measuring isotopic abundance instead of ionizing radiation, it is shown that ICP-MS should exhibit lower detection limits than liquid scintillation counting for the measurement of ? emitters with half-lives longer than ~104 years. However, a specific preparative chemistry is generally required prior to measurement in order to separate the analyte from major radioactive contaminants and potentially interfering isotopes. Original methods we have recently developed for the determination of three long-lived ? emitters: 93Zr, 107Pd and 135Cs in radioactive waste are described in this paper. The procedures involve various separative and measurement strategies, such as liquid-liquid extraction, Chromatographic separation as well as electrothermal vaporization coupled with ICP-MS. The performances are discussed in terms of selectivity and detection capabilities.

High Resolution (HR) ICP-MS in low resolution mode was used with ultrasonic nebulization to determine long-lived radionuclides and surrogates in human body fluid samples. Although very sensitive, achieving LODs less than 0.1 fg/mL for 244Pu, a number of molecular ion interferences have been encountered from commonly-occurring species which limit sensitivity and require the development of specialized sample preparation routes.
