Improved accuracy in the measurement of wear metals and additives in lubricant oils by ICP-OES

In this study, a series of used lubricant and hydraulic oil samples were analyzed using an Agilent 5800 Radial View (RV) ICP-OES. The IntelliQuant software routine was used to identify interferences and suggest the most appropriate wavelength for the analysis. The extra information provided by IntelliQuant ensures that high-quality results are produced first time, without rerunning samples or standards.
