Quadrupole Method

December 9, 2022

We measured all samples on both pulse and analog mode, depending on their concentrations. All counts per second over 1000000 were measured in analog mode (see cps data for more detail). Helium mode was used to reduce interferences associated with polyatomic species for Mg. Hydrogen mode was used to reduce interferences associated with isobaric interferences for Si. The rest of the elements were analyzed using no gas mode to maximize signal, as there were no significant interferences expected.
