Periodic Table Guide

A free, element-by-element reference covering chemical compatibility, storage, sample prep, and spectroscopic data for over 70 elements — everything an ICP analyst needs in one guide.

What's Inside the Guide

70+ Elements Covered

Every common element gets its own page — location on the periodic table, atomic weight, coordination number, and chemical form in solution.

Chemical Compatibility & Storage

Know which acids each element is soluble in, what to avoid, and how to store and handle standards to prevent contamination or degradation.

Stability Data

Real-world stability ranges — concentration levels, acid matrices, and container types — based on Inorganic Ventures' own laboratory testing.

Sample Preparation by Matrix

Practical prep guidance for metals, oxides, ores, and organic matrices, so you know exactly how to bring each element into solution.

ICP-OES & ICP-MS Spectroscopic Data

Preferred emission lines and isotopes, estimated detection limits, and known interferences for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS.

Additional Resources for Your Workflow

Everything you need to work smarter, from sample prep to final analysis

ICP Operations Guide

A practical, 16-part guide to running ICP-OES and ICP-MS with confidence — covering calibration, instrument setup, spectral interference, and everyday troubleshooting. Written by working chemists, it's the reference IV's own lab turns to for accurate, repeatable results.

Guides & Papers

A library of technical guides, white papers, and quick-reference tools covering ICP analysis, standard preparation, quality management, and everyday lab challenges. Explore in-depth resources from IV's own chemists, built to help you troubleshoot and get accurate results faster.

Periodic Table Guide

The Periodic Table for ICP Users Guide provides essential data for 70+ elements for every ICP user, including: chemical compatibilities, preferred emission lines, as well as major interferences and detection limits for both ICP and ICP-MS.

Trace Analysis Guide

A 17-part guide to getting reliable results at trace and ultra-trace levels, from sample planning and contamination control through digestion, fusion, and final measurement. It's the step-by-step foundation IV's chemists rely on before any low-level analysis begins.

Interactive Periodic Table

Click any element to see its chemical compatibility, storage requirements, stability data, and preferred ICP-OES/ICP-MS lines — a free, at-a-glance reference for over 70 elements, built from Inorganic Ventures' own analytical experience.
