Scope of ICP-MS applications

ICP-MSis acclaimed widely as the most sensitive and accurate technique for analysis of traces metals. It has an established application base in studies onpharmaceutical and food products。However, there are some other areas as well where ICP-MS has made inroads and regulatory bodies across the world have specified ICP-MS as the recommended technique for framing the upper limits of toxic elements in both natural resources and commercially manufactured products. Some such application areas are briefly covered in the article.

Manufacture of Semiconductor devices

半导体设备对电子设备的进步做出了重大贡献。由于某些元素在超轨道水平上，半导体设备的行为受到污染的很大程度。其浓度的略有变化会导致此类设备的明显行为变化，并在所需的操作条件下甚至会导致失败。这种杂质可以通过水，试剂或晶片表面的存在引入。这种杂质的不必要的存在可能导致此类设备的操作问题。

ICP-MSaffords detection of metallic impurities in sub-ppm to ppb and even ppt or lower levels. However, utmost实验室的环境控制，，，，use of highest purity reagent grades and above all personal hygiene make the significant contribution to the reliability of results.

Nuclear Energy

发电不仅限于热和海德拉巴roelectric modes. The alternate energy resources exploited are nuclear, solar energy and tidal energy in coastal areas. Nuclear power plants are a viable and safe option provided required safeguards are in place.

当还将HPLC添加到ICP-MS中时，也可以确定不同物种的同位素比。这种独特的特征有助于建立放射性元件的同位素比，例如铀，or，p，p和其他放射性物种，这些物种可能是由核裂变反应引起的。这使ICP-MS成为控制放射性副产品废物，放射性约会以及对反应堆中燃料燃烧的监测的宝贵工具。

Forensics and Clinical Toxicology studies

在刑事调查,观察到there is an exchange of microscopic quantities of trace metals between the criminal or the crime weapon and the subject of investigation. Such minute quantities can be easily detected in specimens such as broken glass bits, car paint chips, soil, bones, teeth, hair or pieces of clothing recovered from the scene of the crime . In cases of suspected poisoning, the examination of viscera for heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead can be detected using the ICP-MS technique. The same techniques can be adapted to study the presence of trace metals in body fluids such as blood, urine, etc in clinical studies.

Geology

激光消融ICP-MS系统在地质研究中发现了有关岩石，土壤，矿物质，水，冰冰川，计量标本和其他事物外岩石等标本的地质研究。这样的研究有助于利用自然资源储层的潜力以及它们的消费和炼油性。同位素对同位素的研究导致对地质和气候衰老的研究。

Environmental

ICP- MS可以确定金属以及大多数在环境样品中存在的非金属，例如空气，水和复杂的蔬菜和动物基质。在行业中，ICP-MS在获取有关漏油，污泥，工业排放和固体废物方面的有价值的信息方面具有巨大用途。ICP-MS也是推荐的技术，用于痕量金属在制造运营和人类消费中使用的水污染物。

可以得出结论，ICP-MS在人类活动的不同领域中提供了广泛的应用，因为其高速分析速度以及对多种样品矩阵中金属和非金属的超轨道水平检测。
