Analysis of Multiple Elements in Drinking Water by ICPE-9820

Conducting safety inspections for drinking water are the responsibility of each country according to their respective regulations. Typically, there are many target elements included in the test, such as sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), etc. which are present at the mg/L level or greater, and toxic trace elements such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), which are normally present at the μg/L level or less.
Here, using the Shimadzu ICPE-9820 multi-type ICP atomic emission spectrometer and an ultrasonic nebulizer, we conducted analysis of river water, typically the source of tap water.
