Abstract:
The determination of metals in biodiesel, crude/fuel oils by ICP-OES is a well-established technique, especially for laboratories that implement ASTM methods. The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES takes the analysis to a new level of performance, particularly in terms of robustness, speed of analysis and reduced running costs. In this study, the 5110 was fitted with an Agilent SPS4 autosampler and an AVS7 switching valve which greatly improved productivity by reducing sample uptake, stabilization and washout times without compromising accuracy, precision, and long-term stability. With the faster sample run times, less argon is used, leading to significant savings for high throughput labs.
