Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a key technique for trace element analysis across a wide variety of sample types, due to its outstanding speed, detection sensitivity and ...

Contrary to their name, rare earth elements (REE) constitute a significant portion of the Earth's crust, where they exist dispersed among various minerals. The demand for REE has surged in recent ...

The US Pharmacopeia (USP) proposes to lower the maximum permissible limits of trace elements in pharmaceuticals and recommends that impurities be measured through automated instrumentation-based ...

We developed extraction and analysis protocols for element detection in neonatal blood spots (NBSs) using sector-field inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS). A 5% (v/v) nitric acid ...
