Templates and directions for analyzing ICP-MS data
Varian Template
: A 3 run template that can be used with any standards and 4-10 W-2 repeats.
Directions for Agilent Templates
Template A : A single run template to be used when AGV-2 dilution is one of the standards used. This template has select standards removed that are problematic.
Template B : A single run template to be used when GSP-2 dilution is one of the standards used. This template has select standards removed that are problematic.
Template C : A 3 run template to be used when AGV-2 dilution is one of the standards used. This template has select standards removed that are problematic.
Template D : A 3 run template to be used when GSP-2 dilution is one of the standards used. This template has select standards removed that are problematic.
Template E : A single run template to be used when AGV-2 dilution is one of the standards used. This template includes all standards, even the problematic ones.
Template F : A single run template to be used when GSP-2 dilution is one
of the standards used. This template includes all standards, even the
problematic ones.
In all of the above templates In, Cs, W, and Tl are the internal
standards used for correction and Ga is present in the internal standard
solution but is not used for correcting the data.
