Plasma Spectrometry
EditAn ionized gas at several thousand kelvin, most often an inductively coupled argon plasma, forms the atomization and excitation (or ionization) source that defines plasma spectrometry. A liquid or solid sample is introduced as an aerosol or vapor; the plasma desolvates, atomizes, and ionizes the analyte, after which either optical emission from excited atoms and ions or the ions themselves are measured [1]. The same plasma can therefore serve atomic emission spectrometry or mass spectrometry, and the two readouts are distinct plasma-spectrometric techniques rather than a single detector [2]. Conceptual boundaries exclude chemical-flame spectrometry, glow-discharge sources at low pressure, and laser-induced breakdown plasmas that are not a continuous inductively coupled discharge. Essential features are a radiofrequency or related energy coupling that sustains the plasma, a sample-introduction system whose transport efficiency affects the signal, and a spectroscopic or mass-spectrometric observation of species produced in the plasma [3]. Sensitivity differences among oxidation states, as between As(III) and As(V), arise from unequal nebulization and atomization behavior in the plasma rather than from a change in the spectrometric principle [4].
