Description
Summary:Much of the recent research on selenium is accomplished with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). This method has proved to be sensitive, robust, and versatile enough to study selenium and selenium species in a multitude of situations. Although Ar-Ar dimers created by the plasma can act as an interference at m/z 80, the major selenium isotope, selenium still is detected easily and quantified by monitoring its other isotopes at m/z 77, 78, or 82.
