Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Collision Reaction Cell ICPMS for Mining Applications
Q: Autumn, could you tell us about some of the interference reduction technologies so we can kind of avoid these?
Liv explains the main interference types—isobaric, polyatomic, and doubly charged—and how collision cells and reaction cells selectively remove or mitigate these interferences, often by slowing down or reacting away problematic species, with specific examples like argon polyatomics and sulfur analysis.
Method Detection Limits in Mining: Why MDLs are Higher than You Expect
Q: Liv, what are some of the reasons that specifically mining applications or samples in the mining industry might have higher method detection limits?
Higher method detection limits in mining arise primarily due to aggressive sample preparation techniques and elevated total dissolved solids in mining samples.
Method Detection Limits in Mining: Why MDLs are Higher than You Expect
Q: Autumn, can you kick us off and give us kind of a brief overview or comparison of MDLs and IDLs?
IDL is the instrument detection limit representing the instrument's optimal performance, whereas MDL considers actual sample processing conditions affecting detection limits.
Axial vs Radial ICP-OES for Mining
Q: Thomas, could you run us through some of the best cases for when to use radial view or axial view?
Radial view is preferred for high concentration samples with potential background interference, while axial view is better for refined, clean samples requiring high sensitivity.
Axial vs Radial ICP-OES for Mining
Q: Autumn, could you run us through some of the challenges of mining samples next?
Mining samples can be complex, with a wide range of target concentrations, and analysts face challenges like matrix effects, signal suppression, and spectral interferences from elements like iron and silica.
