Here’s what industry professionals have to say about the eBook:

The "Guide for environmental samples analysis by ICP-MS" by Sabrina Antonio is suitable for analysts of all levels integrating ICP-MS fundamentals, safety protocols, practical sample preparation techniques, interference reduction strategies, and troubleshooting methods. This text sets the standard for excellence in navigating the complexities of ICP-MS with confidence.

– Julie Bertoia, Laboratory Safety Manager, Office of Research, UNLV
Overall, I like how this was organized beginning with a background of the various US EPA Acts and Regulations as an introduction to the importance of performing trace metals analyses. Then moving into GLP practices that are too often overlooked, then to the standard prep, calibrations, sample matrices and preparations to instrumentation and troubleshooting.
