Iron is one of the most common and challenging elements to handle in the lab, both as a key analyte and as a potential contaminant. In this episode, we tackle the nuances of working with iron in the lab. From avoiding contamination in your tools and reagents to selecting the right acid combinations for dissolving metals, alloys, and oxides, we cover it all. Discover how to maintain stability in solution and manage the spectral complexity iron brings to both ICP-OES and ICP-MS.
