1 Sample Analysis Design PART II

2 Sample Analysis Design Generating high quality, validated results is the primary goal of elemental abundance determinations It is absolutely critical to plan an ICP-MS analysis carefully from sample gathering to final analysis on the ICPMS Always create and follow an analysis design that shall permit you to follow the procedure for future samples, AND know what you did when looking at old data

3 Sample Analysis Design Goal: high quality, validated, quantitative determination of elemental concentrations/isotope ratios This goal can be achieved by: Specificity - only detecting isotope(s) of interest, not interferences, OR making sure that matrix effects do not play a role Sensitivity - can we differentiate the isotope of interest from the background signal? Accuracy - does the analysis represent the real value? Precision - how repeatable is the value?

4

5 Sample Analysis Design Sensitivity and Precision: generally defined by how well the instrument is tuned (assuming dilution factor is appropriate) Specificity and Accuracy: generally governed by how well you prepare your sample and set up your analysis method/ parameters

6 Sample Analysis Design Spectroscopic interferences Matrix effects

7 Sample Analysis Design Interference analytical artifact which causes the ion signal in a sample to vary from an idealized (true) signal Interferences cause inaccurate analyses Two main types: 1. Spectroscopic 2. Nonspectroscopic

8 Sample Analysis Design Spectroscopic Interferences in ICP-MS 1. Isobaric overlap 2. Polyatomic ions 3. Refractory oxides 4. Doubly charged ions

9 Sample Analysis Design Isobaric Overlap Two different elements having the same nominal mass E.g., 40 Ca (96.9%) and 40 Ar (99.6%) Monoisotopic elements: B, Na, Al, Sc, Mn, As, Nb, Y, Rh, I, Cs, Pr, Tb, Ho, Tm, Au, Th None have isobaric interferences

10 Sample Analysis Design Isobaric Overlap A few multi-isotope elements have no interference free isotopes: E.g., In In 113 Cd, and 115 In 115 Sn Usually possible to choose an interference free isotope or one that is unlikely to be interfered upon strongly (either due to very low natural abundance of interfering element (isotope) or the interfering element (isotope) is not present in sample)

11 Sample Analysis Design Isobaric Overlap IF an isobaric interference is unavoidable, you can correct for it by measuring the counts on a non-interfering isotope of the interfering element CPS analyte = CPS total -CPS interferent *(X a /X b ) X a = abundance of interfering isotope X b = abundance of non-interfering isotope

12 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences More serious than isobaric interferences Result from possible, short-lived combination of atomic species in the plasma or during ion transfer Common recombinants are Ar, H, and O Dominant elements in reagents also form polyatomic interferences - N, S, and Cl

13 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences Analyzing deionized water with ICP-MS instrument we have solely H and O present (within the matrix ) Thus, peaks would be visible at masses: 41 ( 40 Ar + 1 H) 41 K 56 ( 40 Ar + 16 O) 56 Fe 80 ( 40 Ar + 40 Ar) 80 Se As well as other minor peaks from the minor isotopes of Ar and O

14 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences If you acidify the deionized water with HNO 3 or H 2 O 2, these behave in the same manner as deionized water these acids are considered ideal matrices as they don t add unnecessary polyatomic interferences Acidification with HCl or H 2 SO 4 changes the situation since Cl and S can be used to form polyatomic ions

15 HCl matrix: Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences 35 Cl + 16 O = 51 V 37 Cl + 16 O = 53 Cr 40 Ar + 35 Cl = 75 As 40 Ar + 37 Cl = 77 Se

16 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences H 2 SO 4 matrix: 32 S + 16 O = 48 Ti 32 S + 16 O + 16 O, or 32 S + 32 S = 64 Zn, 64 Ni 34 S + 16 O = 50 Ti, 50 V, 50 Cr 33 S + 16 O + 16 O = 65 Cu

17 Sample Analysis Design These interferences will be present just from the gas and solvent Therefore, if possible, solutions should be prepared with a weak (1-5% v/v) HNO 3 acid matrix Why not deionized water? acid helps keep elements from sticking to sides of test tubes and tubing during transport ionization efficiency is significantly lower relative to HNO 3

18 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences The most serious polyatomic interferences are formed from the most abundant isotopes of H, C, N, O, Cl, and Ar So, if polyatomic interferences are present in plain deionized water with no other ions present, what happens in natural (complex) samples/matrices?

19 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences Need to know the most abundant elements present in sample Is (are) there any one (or more) elements present that are in very high abundances? If so - then it s likely interferences could be formed from such abundant element(s) E.g., rock samples - high Si

20 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences Typically, most polyatomic interferences are only present below mass 82 - since Ar, H, and O are by far the most abundant isotopes in the plasma, they form most interferences Counteractive measures: Proper machine settings (especially nebulizer flow rate and RF power) can minimize formation

21 Sample Analysis Design Polyatomic Interferences If a polyatomic interference is unavoidable, then a correction equation like the one for isobaric interferences can be used (assuming you are certain of the species of the interference)

22 Sample Analysis Design Refractory Oxides Refractory Oxides Occur because of incomplete sample dissociation or from recombination Always occur as an interference as an integral value of 16 mass units above the interfering element MO, MO 2, or MO 3 where M is the interfering element

23 Sample Analysis Design Refractory Oxides Elements with high oxide bond strength are most likely to form refractory oxide interferences Severity is expressed as MO/M as a percentage MO/M should be as low as possible, typically <5% MO/M minimized by adjusting nebulizer flow rate, z-axis position, and RF power

24 Sample Analysis Design Refractory Oxides Si, Ce, Zr, Ti, Sm, Mo, and P all form strong oxide bonds and may have severe oxide interferences Usually monitor the CeO/Ce ratio to make sure it s below 5%

25 Examples: Sample Analysis Design Refractory Oxides LREE on the HREE BaO on Eu MoO on Cd

26 Sample Analysis Design Refractory Oxides Again, correction equations can be applied but these lead to increased error, especially if the interference is large Oxide formation tends to not be stable and the corrections accumulate error quickly If there is a severe oxide interference, it s usually better to try to separate the interference from the analyte

27 Typically, Sample Analysis Design Refractory Oxides MO > MO 2 > MO 3 > MO 4

28 Sample Analysis Design Doubly Charged Ions Form when the 2nd ionization potential is less than the first ionization potential of Ar Typical of alkaline earths, a few transition metals, and some REE Low nebulizer flow rates increase doubly charged ion formation Interference signal is always M/2 where M is the element becoming doubly charged

29 How to avoid spectral MS interferences? Attempt to dry solutions prior to introduction to plasma - remove O and H gets rid of many polyatomic species (i.e. use a desolvating introduction system e.g. DSN 100) Optimize instruments settings so that formation is minimized and corrections are not severe Use simple matrices whenever possible Process samples prior to analysis to isolate elements of interest or remove potential interfering elements; e.g. ion exchange chromatography

30 How to avoid spectral MS interferences? Alternatively - use higher mass resolutions, MR medium resolution or HR high resolution Most overlaps are not exact using medium and high resolution modes Can completely separate the isotope of interest from interfering species However, consequence is loss of sensitivity

31 Sample Analysis Design PART III Spectroscopic interferences Matrix effects

32 Matrix Effects Physical physical effects from dissolved or undissolved solids present in solution Chemical Ionization suppression and enhancement effects

33 Matrix Effects Physical variations in rate of atomization/ionization of samples and standards samples and standards should have similar viscosities matrix acid concentrations should be the same in samples and standards

34 Matrix Effects Chemical properties of the solution may inhibit or suppress the formation of ions high TDS, refractory species typically increasing RF power or lowering nebulizer flow rates can reduce this type of interference

35 Matrix Effects Ionization space charge effects

36 Matrix Effects Effects from high TDS Significant sample drift observed when TDS is > 2000 ug/ml 200 mg of sample in 100 ml of solute rock analysis = 50 mg in 100 ml

37 Matrix Effects Ways to avoid high TDS effects: most obvious - DILUTE 2nd way - prime the system most high TDS effects will cause signal drift until a lower (or sometimes higher) analyte signal is reached after that point, the change is minimal

38 Matrix Effects Ion signal Suppression and Enhancement suppression more common than enhancement suppression through space charge effects in general, large concentrations of heavy elements will cause signal suppression through space charge effects S - a classic ion signal suppressor

39 Matrix Effects Enhancement is more rare as ion signal increases over time are more likely the result of changing machine conditions than true matrix effects Overall - matrix effects caused by low mass elements are poorly understood plasma dynamics? ion transfer changes? supersonic expansion?

40 Matrix Effects Matrix effects are difficult to quantify Corrections are typically quite error prone Hard to determine if signal degradation is due to instrumental drift or due to suppression/enhancement

41 Ways to overcome matrix effects? DILUTE internal standarization instrument optimization matrix matching standards and samples standard addition matrix separation

50 Element2 Software Method Editor Before you acquire data, you must define a suitable measuring program this results in a Method The Method contains all the parameters: Related to the elements to be measured (e.g. mass range & isotopes) Related to conditions of data sampling (e.g. sample time, samples per peak, replicates- runs & passes) Related to the measuring method (e.g. resolution, scan mode, detection mode)

61 Scan Modes Magnetic Scan (BScan): the electric field is kept constant and the magnetic field is varied as a function of time the BScan is suitable for scanning large, continuous mass ranges to obtain a complete spectrum from an unknown sample. for repeated scanning, a fast flight-back follows each scan depending on the (mass) distance for the flight-back, a settling time for the magnet must be allowed the settling time takes into account the time needed for the magnet to recover from the fast flight-back of each cycle this scan mode is also used for Mass Calibration in order to account for the non-linear behavior of the magnet

62 Scan Modes Electric Scan (EScan): the magnetic field is kept constant and scanning is performed electrically by varying the accelerating voltage and the ESA high voltage this scan mode is the fastest scan the EScan starts with setting the magnet to a mass at the lower end of the Mass Range the available mass range for the electric scan depends on the magnet mass; it ranges from -6% to +30% of the magnet mass

63 Scan Modes EScan advantages: fast scans can be conducted over the detectable mass range without huge energy transfer in the magnet = this results in settling times that do not have to be observed even when performing the fastest repeated scans thus possible to scan the mass ranges of the isotopic pattern and to skip the ranges of no interest possible to carry out replicate measurements in quick succession because of the low energy transfer the advantages of EScan make it the preferred and default scan mode

64

65

66 Integration Window (%): Expressed as a percentage of the peak width, is used to calculate peak intensity. A value of 100% means that the intensity will be calculated from samples, measured in a window of ± ½ peak width of peak center Peak Search Window (%): This specifies the mass window, where the software performs a search (calculation) for the peak center. For example, a value of 100% means that all samples are used in a window of ± ½ peak width of the accurate mass as specified during the elements/isotope selection.
