Set Conditions More on instrument control to follow. • Initiate plasma • Set view

Confirm Wavelength Alignment

Look at spectra of single element standards initially

Set Background Correction

Look at spectra of samples & standards

Interferences  Interfering

Elements

– Set background locations to correct – Select an alternate line – Apply inter-element corrections

Inter-Element Corrections 1

3 Select IEC Tab

Highlight interfering element and run standard

4 2 Identify interfering element for highlighted element

Highlight analyte to see its interferences

Calibration Standards
