A direct-injection nebulizer (DIN) has been evaluated for liquid sample introduction in helium microwave-induced plasma mass spectrometry (MIP-MS). A short-term stability test with the direct-injection nebulizer was found to give less than 0.5% RSD for twenty minutes. Isotope abundances for K, Ca, Cr, and Se were determined with less than 10% error on all isotopes. All elements have linear dynamic ranges of two to three orders of magnitude. Detection limits are low to sub-ppb for all elements. Ion lens tuning plays an important role in multielement determinations. Oxide, hydroxide, and doubly charged ions are determined for Cr, As, Sr, Cs, Ba, and Pb. The effect of 10% methanol and high-dissolved salts is investigated.

In inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry analyte, M may be distributed among several species forms including doubly charged ions (M2+), singly charged ions (M+), mono-oxide ions (MO+), and hydroxide ions (MOH+). Detailed data are presented for Ba to illustrate the dependence of the ion count of these species and their ratios (M2+/M+, MO+/M+, and MOH+/M+) on nebulizer flow rate, plasma power, and sampling depth. Although these data are representative of most elements, many form oxides to a much greater degree than Ba; data are presented for Ti, W, and Ce to illustrate this fact. These various analyte species are important in that serious interelement interferences can occur because of spectral overlap. An extensive pair of tables indicating potential spectral interferences caused by element oxide, hydroxide, and doubly charged ions is presented.
