    Procedures used:

  • IPLV-009, "Measurement of Elements in Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy", Rev. 4
  • QAP-3.0, "Scientific Investigation Control", Rev. 10, DCN#5
  • QAP-3.6, "Submittal Of Data", Rev. 5

    Software used: N/A

    Acquisition/Development Method:

  • ICP-MS generated the data by making a calibration curve. The instrument software is able to determine the concentration of the element by acquiring a response for the sample using the calibration curve. The data acquired from the instrument is reduced using Microsoft Excel 2003.

    Location(s):

  • University of Nevada, Las Vegas - Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies. Room 167

    Start/End Period: 10/03/2005 - 11/15/2005

    Other Management Information: These data were acquired or developed under project activity ORD-FY04-004 of the NSHE/YMP Cooperative Agreement # DE-FC28-04RW12232.
