Using Dynamic Reaction Cell ICP-MS Technology to Determine the Full Suite of Elements in Rainwater Samples

This paper describes how scientists at an environmental and geochemical laboratory utilize dynamic reaction cell ICP-MS technology to study the transport and deposition of the full suite of important trace metals from rainwater. Previously, the presence of spectral interferences necessitated the use of additional techniques to achieve the desired detection limits, but this study shows that the lab can now use a single technique, which has increased sample throughput and dramatically improved their lab productivity.
