In the afternoon we will have a practical session demonstrating how all the above is applied. Interferences from different sample types Sampling techniques, sample storage & sample processing, as this is the most important part of the analytical procedure. We will cover the following topics during a short lecture session: The 1-day workshop aims to give students and ICP analysts a broader knowledge of ICP analysis principles and instrument parameters to be better equipped for the accurate analysis of a variety of solution sample matrices by ICP-MS. Solution ICP-MS in Environmental analysis of major and trace elements Samples prepared in the morning practical will be analysed to show qualitative and quantitative results of the instrument. Practical session on the XRF spectrometer will cover the theory topics that were discussed in the morning. This will be followed by a practical session of sample preparation on different samples types. The workshop will provide an introduction to WXRF spectrometry as well as the importance of correct sample preparation for users to get optimal results, introduce user to the analytical techniques to obtain qualitative and quantitative elemental results.Ī short presentation will be given on the theory of how XRF spectrometry works, instrument components, introduction to instrument parameter selection as well as sample preparation. Setting up and running an automated analytical sequence.LA U-(Th)-Pb dating of accessory minerals, with an emphasis on zircon and rutile.Introduction to laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry.This one day training workshop will cover the basics of U-(Th)-Pb dating by LA ICP-MS, including a short laboratory session and introduction to data reduction approaches.
