A direct reader ICP excels at the rapid analysis of multi-element samples. Common sample types analyzed by ICP include trace elements in polymers, wear metals in oils, and numerous one-of-a-kind catalysts. ICP instruments are limited to the analysis of liquids only. Solid samples require some sort of dissolution procedure prior to analysis. The final volume of solution should be at least 25 mL. The solvent can be either water, usually containing 10% acid, or a suitable organic solvent such as xylene.
