Abstract

Fundamental research on non-spectroscopic interferences, also known as matrix effects, in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometry with sample introduction using nebulization is critically and exclusively examined in this review, starting with fundamental processes that may be a source of matrix effects during sample introduction, ion generation in the ICP, ion extraction through the interface, and ion transport through the ion optics to the detector. Various methods for attenuating matrix effects are then reviewed and illustrated with some examples. Instead of exhaustively reviewing the literature, representative references are used to comprehensively describe the main issues, several of which are also common to ICP optical emission spectrometry.
