Abstract:
Diesel and gasoline are among the most challenging samples to be analyzed by ICP techniques. Due to the vertical plasma geometry of the V Shuttle Torch and the unique plasma performance of its high-frequency generator, direct analysis of undiluted diesel and gasoline proved feasible for the analytical routine on the Analytik Jena PlasmaQuant 9100 Elite. The limits of detection in the range of 1 ppb are easily achieved for most analytes, which ensures the precise and accurate determination of the required limits. Carbon-based spectral interferences are successfully removed by the high spectral resolution of the High-Resolution Optics. Excellent method robustness was confirmed by a continuous aspiration test.
