Analysis of Trace Metals in Surface and Bottled Water with the Optima 7300 DV ICP-OES

This application note by PerkinElmer evaluates the development of a simple method for water analysis using a high-speed, segmented charge coupled detector (SCD) based dual-view ICP-OES instrument. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) are well suited for routine monitoring of trace and ultra trace levels of metal impurities.
