Plasma sources for mass spectrometry provides an efficient means of ionizing most of the elements. This book looks at the most widely used of these sources - inductively coupled plasma. It also shows the problems associated with the method, such as spectral overlap from polyatomic ions and the inefficiency of element ionization by plasmas formed with argon. Alternative gases to highly purified argon are discussed, as well as microwave induced plasmas. The book examines how the primary mass spectrometric applications solve problems of the above sort and includes the following discussions: interfacing atmospheric plasmas, formed in a variety of gases, with mass spectrometry; atomization and ionization characteristics; polyatomic ion interferences; and interfacing chromatographic techniques.
