Hi everyone,
I have been working on ICP calibration. The curve got bulged and the RPDs of the lower calibration stds are sitting at +10-20%.
I tried to calibrate with different combination settings (Plasma, Neb and Sample rate).
The “best” setting for Neb is 0.5-0.6; Sample Intake is 0.75; Plasma Flow is 11.
What I have been doing is to try to get a less bulged calibration curve, so my ICV and CCV pass.
Yesterday I moved the shear gas slit closer to the torch, but I did not see any improvement.
ICP Avio 550 Max. Cal Stds are 0.02, 0.1, 0.5, 2 and 4ppm. I have re-prepped all stds three times and have them verified on another instrument.
Please advice.
