摘要: A method and associated apparatus for in-process automated analysis employing a mass spectrometry ratio measurements is disclosed. It involves elemental speciation threshold measurement that optimized quality assurance at capable of functioning near quantitative instrumental detection limits. The system may be employed in an unattended operation identification quantification or specie contaminants. In preferred aspect the method, sample subjected to equilibration with least one spike after which it ionization atmospheric ion generator processed by spectrometer output being microprocessor through controller coordinates delivery as well spectrometer. alternative qualitatively.
