Improvements in sample preparation and introduction for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry incorporating microwave energy

The area of atomic spectrometry has long suffered from inefficient sample preparation and introduction systems. Microwave heating can be a powerful technique for improving these systems but has tending not to be well understood and used in analytical chemistry. The purpose of this work has been to u...
