Multi-Element Simultaneous Determination of Nutrients as well as Hazardous Elements in Brown Rice by ICPE-9000

Introduction

Analysis of inorganic substances in plants might focus on micro-level hazardous metals besides the nutrients as analysis samples. The advantage of using an ICP emission spectrometer for such analyses is that both micro-levels and high-levels of substances can be measured simultaneously. This Application News introduces an analysis of a brown rice sample using the Shimadzu ICPE-9000 multitype ICP emission spectrometer, in which digestion of the sample into a solution was conducted using a microwave digester.
