Spectral Interference: Types, Avoidance and Correction

For your convenience, spectral interference topics have been broken into separate sections for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS users. However, the majority of this chapter is concerned with spectral interference correction for ICP-OES.

Types of Spectral Interference: ICP-OES

The types of spectral interferences most commonly encountered for ICP-OES are discussed in the Spectral Interferences section of Part 15: ICP-OES Measurement of our Reliable Measurements series. You may wish to review this information before continuing.

As noted in part 7 of this guide, the collection of spectra at different concentrations on all elements and lines available will save a lot of time in the line selection process.
