Written by a field insider with over 20 years experience in product development, applica-tion support, and field marketing for an ICP-MS manufacturer, the third edition of Prac-tical Guide to ICP-MS: A Tutorial for Beginners provides an updated reference that waswritten specifically with the novice in mind. It presents a compelling story about ICP-MSand what it has to offer, showing this powerful ultra trace-element technique in the wayit was intended—a practical solution to real-world problems.

• New chapter: Emerging ICP-MS Application Areas—covers the three most rapidlygrowing areas: analysis of flue gas desulfurization wastewaters, fully automatedanalysis of seawater samples using online chemistry procedures, and characterizationof engineered nanoparticles

• Discussion of all the new technology commercialized since the second edition

• An updated glossary of terms with more than 100 new entries

• Examination of nonstandard sampling accessories, which are important for enhanc-ing the practical capabilities of ICP-MS

• Insight into additional applications in the environmental, clinical/biomedical, andfood chemistry fields as well as new directives from the United States Pharmacopeia(USP) on determining impurities in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements usingChapters <232>, <233>, and <2232>

• Description of the most important analytical factors for selecting an ICP-MS system,taking into consideration more recent application demands
