Moved ICP-AES content to it's own page, as it's a different technique.

[edit] Question

Does the sample being measured have to be in liquid form? So if a sample fo a metal alloy was being measured would it have to be dissolved in acid first? Thanks. OAP boba 08:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Samples are normally liquids. Solids can generally be dissolved in acids or by other means to produce liquids. However solids can be analyzed directly by laser ablation. A pulsed laser, diected at the surface of the solid, produces a plume of material which is then carried into the plasma to produce ions.

[edit] Dynamic Reaction Cell

The DRC page has been tagged as needing a clean-up for some time. Anybody over here want to give it a shot?--SteveMtl 15:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge dynamic reaction cell with ICP-MS

Dynamic Reaction Cell is a related short article with cleanup needs. A merge could help set that information with the context of this article. Comments? --Kkmurray 02:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Merged, but article still needs refs and cleanup.--Kkmurray 17:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename (de-Acronym)

See WP:NAME and WP:ACRONYM. The main issue is whether ICP-MS is "almost exclusively known only by its acronym" (emphasis added). I am arguing that it is known by both so the acronym should be spelled out. This will essentially be a swap of redirect and content between the existing ICP-MS and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. --Kkmurray 04:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Request is here: WP:RM —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkmurray (talk • contribs) 04:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Additional rationale: ICP disambiguates to article Inductively coupled plasma, ICP-AES redirects to Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. In this scheme, ICP-MS should redirect (remembering to sign this time). --Kkmurray 13:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from ICP-MS to Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 07:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

It is also of importance to notify that there are other types of detectors conected to the ICP, that is not metioned here. Like the SFMS and other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.88.172.186 (talk) 14:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
