Student Sponsorship
Spectron Inc. will sponsor one (1) graduate student each year to an international conference on Atomic Spectroscopy. We are looking for published, peer reviewed original work to highlight in our newsletter. If you are a graduate or post-doctoral student hoping to present your work, contact us (email below). We will include two abstracts in each of three information-only newsletters. All abstracts will be clearly cited and linked to an appropriate site for download. The final six students whose papers are chosen for each of the three newsletters will be eligible for sponsorship to a major international, scientific conference of their choice. Three judges from the academic community will choose one of the six students for sponsorship. If you are a Professor willing to volunteer for one of the three reviewer positions please contact me directly.

| Should You (Heat) or Cool Your Spray Chamber? |
There is a large body of research which shows that a modern argon plasma can handle a mass load of about 40 - 60 mg/min. If you do the math, and assume the nebulizer-spray chamber is 5% efficient, at 1 mL/min you are putting about 50 mg/min into the plasma. Solvent loading is the term generally used to describe changes in the plasma when too much solvent reaches it. Essent...

| Cone Care and Maintenance |
All sample and skimmer cones, regardless of ICP-MS manufacturer or design serve the same function. They are the differential apertures separating the sample, at atmosphere from the mass filter and detector(s), at high vacuum. Though the fundamental dimensions are all essentially the same (sample cone with shallow angle, skimmer cone with acute angle), each manu...
