Optimization of instrumental parameters for improving sensitivity of single particle inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis of gold

2021

Single particle inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) is a promising technique for analysis of engineered nanoparticles, whose utilization has increased substantially over the past years. Optimization of instrumental conditions is, however, crucial to improve the sensitivity and precision of nanoparticle (NP) detection. In this study, the influence of ICP-MS instrumental parameters (nebulizer gas flow, plasma radiofrequency-power and sampling depth) on the signal intensity of gold in spICP-MS was evaluated using dispersions of Au NPs and a solution of dissolved gold. The interaction effects of the main factors were found to have a significant effect on the signal intensity…
