Abstract
Use of a nebulizer add-gas to reduce metal deposition on the sampling orifices of an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer ('ICP-MS') is disclosed. Specifically, dilute mixtures of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) in an inert gas have been used to reduce transition metal deposition on the sampling orifices of an ICP-MS, thereby greatly enhancing the stability of the ICP-MS sensitivity over time without corroding the internal parts and/or chemically attacking the cones of the ICP-MS.
