Abstract

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been developed as an accurate and sensitive technique for multi-elemental or isotopic analysis. There are many circumstances in which the introduction of an organic compound or aqueous solutions containing carbon to the ICP-MS may be preferred. However, it is still confined by its complexity matrix effects and its potential mechanisms. The present review is dedicated to dealing with the organic solvent matrix effects in ICP-MS. With a thorough bibliographic study, the influences of organic compounds on the spectral and non-spectral interferences in ICP-MS are summarized. Subsequently, the main factors for the performance of organic plasma are discussed. Finally, a great attention is paid to clarify the potential mechanisms to understand the fundamental changes originated from organic compounds in each stage of ICP-MS.

摘要

电感耦合等离子体质谱 (ICP-MS) 已发展成为一种准确且灵敏的多元素或同位素分析技术。在许多情况下，将有机化合物或含碳水溶液引入 ICP-MS 可能是优选的。然而，它仍然受到其复杂的矩阵效应及其潜在机制的限制。本综述致力于处理 ICP-MS 中的有机溶剂基质效应。通过全面的参考文献研究，总结了有机化合物对 ICP-MS 中光谱和非光谱干扰的影响。随后，讨论了影响有机等离子体性能的主要因素。最后，
