Matrix Modifiers, Ionization Buffers and Releasing Agents
QCD Analysts Matrix Modifiers are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2000 Quality System. Matrix Modifiers prevent the loss of volatile elements by forming species which have increased thermal stability in the excitation source. This lessens Analyte volatility, reduces signal dependency and produces greater consistency in absorption Analyte signals. For example, the addition of Ni(NO3)2 prevents the loss of Selenium in graphite furnace AA Analyses and Pd(NO3)2 is effective for Sb, As, Bi, Ga, Ge, Pb, P, Se, Te and Tl.
Flame Atomic Absorption Ionization Buffers add electrons to the flame or plasma and shift the equilibrium from ions to atoms for easily ionized elements. This enhances both signal intensity from atomic spectral lines and increases reproducibility. The use of Ionization Buffers is important when using acetylene-nitrous oxide flame or when analyzing for alkali and alkaline earth metals.
