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.
