Abstract: A solution-based inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric (ICP-OES) method is described for elemental analysis with relative expanded uncertainties on the order of 0.1% relative. The single-element determinations of 64 different elements are presented, with aggregate performance results for the method and parameters for the determination of each element. The performance observed is superior to that previously reported for ICP-OES, resulting from a suite of technical strategies that exploit the strengths of contemporary spectrom...
