GC/ICP-MS: Strategies And Techniques Using ICP-MS As A Gas Chromatographic Detector

In reviewing the literature, we find GC-ICP-MS has been around well over thirty years. The sophistication of that interfacing has evolved significantly both in hardware and software. These improvements require good understanding of how to avail oneself of them and how to avoid problems associated with the technology.

An overview of this is provided here with discussion of the CIC feature, tuning, experiment linking, standards and calibration, standard addition, signal averaging, and more.
