Warwick Analytical Service
(WAS) is able to offer a routine service for precise determination of sulphur
from ppm to % levels using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission
Spectrometry (ICP-OES) with good precision and accuracy. The Sulfur method is
covered by the company's ISO 17025 and UKAS accreditation.
Measuring Sulfur by ICP-OES measures the total sulfur, both organic and
inorganic. Due to the sensitivity of the technique a broad range of sample
weights can be used making the method applicable to a wide cross section of
samples. The sample is digested, typically using microwave digestion. The sample
solution is then passed though a nebuliser and aspirated into the plasma. The
sulfur content is then measured using emission lines around 182 nm.
Traditionally Sulfur is measured by a variety of methods many of which are time
consuming and suffer from interferences. However using ICP-OES can provide a
rapid analysis with simple sample preparation. Offering multiple analyte
analysis with excellent speed, sensitivity and large linear dynamic range.
