Tech Support Q&A Part 2
Description
In this episode, Mike is joined by Support Chemist Ashley Jones and Stock Production Manager Thomas Kozikowski to tackle listener-submitted questions from the lab. First, they unpack whether a standard additions curve from one sample can be applied to others—exploring when it’s valid, what risks come with instrument drift, and why true matrix matching matters. Then, they take on a tough scenario: how to handle high-throughput analysis of true unknown mineral samples using ICP-OES and ICP-MS. From digestion techniques and fusion methods to internal standard selection, interference management, and data review strategies, the team offers practical solutions for demanding analytical workflows.
If you’ve ever faced the challenge of balancing accuracy with efficiency in the lab, this episode is a must-listen.
