Sampling Procedure:

• Sample transferred from vial to 0.1 mL sample loop in 0.5 second then injected
• ICP read delay time 1 second
• During ICP read the sample probe moves above the next sample
• 11 elements determined in total analysis time of 7 seconds per sample.
• Over 500 samples and standards analyzed per hour!
