ICP OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROSCOPYAPPLICATION NOTE 14 Analysis of a Vitamin Mineral Agnes Cosnier Jobin Yvon S.A.S.， Horiba Group Longjumeau， France Keywords： biology， food 1 Introduction A vitamin mineral sample was presented to thislaboratory for trace and major element determi-nation. The sample was previously digested bymicrowave heating. The assay required was Zn，Fe， Cu， Mn， 12 at % levels and Pb， Cd， Hg， Al atppm levels in the solid sample. This report givesthe best wavelengths for the determination ofanalytes in these matrices， as well as the operat-ing conditions and the analytical results. 2 Principle 2. 1 Technique used The elemental analysis of solutions was under-taken by Inductively Coupled Plasma OpticalEmission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The sample isnebulized then transferred to an argon plasma. Itis decomposed， atomized and ionized wherebythe atoms and ions are excited. We measure theintensity of the light emitted when the atoms orions return to lower levels of energy.y.Each ele-ment emits light at characteristic wavelengthsand these lines can be used for quantitativeanalysis after a calibration. 2.2 Wavelength choice The choice of the wavelength in a given matrixcan be made using the “profile"function， or byusing Win-IMAGE，which is rapid semi-quantita-tive analysis mode using multiple wavelengths.The principle is the same in either case： recordthe scans of analytes at low concentration， andof the matrix. By superimposing the spectra， wesee possible interferences. The sample was dissolved with a microwavedigester (Prolabo)： 1.0461 g was dissolved in15 % HCl using a microwave vessel. A powerof 50 W was applied for 10 minutes. 4 Instrument specification The work was done on a JY 124.The specifica-tions of this instrument are listed below in Table1 and 2.

The analysis mode 5 is a direct peakingmeasurement. The most sensitive Al line at 167.020 nm was notused because of an Fe interference. The concentra-tion range of Al in the sample allows the use of aless sensitive line.

The possibility of Hgloss during the digestion process or even duringstorage must be considered. A rapid test was made in order to make the analy-sis of low levels of mercury possible. It is based onmercury vapor generation. For this purpose， weused the JY patented CMA ("Concomitant MercuryAnalyzer") accessory. This accessory allows theanalysis of hydride forming elements and of the"regular" elements at the same time.(Refer to appli-cation Note 13 for more details on CMA) 8 Summary The analysis was found to be simple with the lowcost JY sequential ICP spectrometer， even thoughboth major and traces elements were required.Results were good even for elements like l2 and Hg，which have their best wavelengths in the far UVregion.
