* THESE CODES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED BY THE GEMS/WATER PROGRAM AND ARE ONLY VALID FOR PAST DATA

ICP 1516 - BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED ARGON PLASMA EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY (ICAP). THE SAMPLE IS FILTERED IN THE FIELD THROUGH A 0.45 U MEMBRANE FILTER AND PRESERVED WITH DILUTED MINERAL ACID. THE SAMPLE IS ASPIRATED AND THE EMISSION IS MEASURED AT THE APPROPRIATE WAVE LENGTH AND COMPARED WITH THAT OF IDENTICALLY PREPARED STANDARD SOLUTIONS. (CODES ENDING WITH 111).

ICP 1503 - BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED ARGON PLASMA EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY (ICAP). THE SAMPLE IS PRESERVED IN THE FIELD WITH DILUTED MINERAL ACID.. A SAMPLE ALIQUOT IS DIGESTED WITH AQUA REGIA AND EVAPORATED TO NEAR DRYNESS. THE RESIDURE IS DISSOLVED IN CONC. HCL AND DILUTED TO ONE-FIFTH OF THE ALIQUOT VOLUME. THE DIGESTED SAMPLE IS FILTERED THROUGH A 0.45 U MEMBRANE FILTER AND ASPIRATED. THE EMISSION IS MEASURED SPECTROPHOTMETRICALLY AND COMPARED WITH THAT OF AN IDENTICALLY PREPARED STANDARD SOLUTION. (CODES ENDING WITH 011).

ICP 1502 - INDUCTIVELY COUPLED ARGON PLASMA (ICAP) EMISSION SPECTROMETRY. SAMPLES PRESERVED WITH HNO3, DIGESTED WITH CONC. HNO3 OR AQUA REGIA, CONCENTRATED AND ASPIRATED FROM AN AUTOSAMPLER. EMISSION ARE COMPARED TO STD.

DISSOLVED: THE SAMPLE IS FILTERED THROUGH 0.45 U MEMBRANE FILTER.

EXTRACTABLE: THE SAMPLES ARE CONCENTRATED 5 TO 10 TIMES, AND ASPIRATED.

(CODES ENDING WITH 009 FOR TOTAL AND 109 FOR DISSOLVED. CODES ENDING WITH 115 FOR DISSOLVED SODIUM, POTASSIUM, CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM)

ICP - MS - THE SAMPLE IS PRESERVED IN THE FIELD WITH DILUTE MINERAL ACID. THE SAMPLE IS ASPIRATED INTO AN ARGON-BASED, HIGH TEMPERATURE RADIO FREQUENCY PLASMA. THE SAMPLE IS DISSOLVED, ATOMIZED AND IONIZED. THESE IONS ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE PLASMA THROUGH A VACUUM INTERFACE AND SEPARATED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR MASS TO CHARGE RATIO BY A MASS SPECTROMETER. THE IONS ARE COUNTED BY AN ELECTRON MULTIPLIER DETECTOR AND THE RESULTING INFORMATION PROCESSED BY A COMPUTER DATABASE SYSTEM AND COMPARED TO IDENTICALLY PREPARED STANDARD AND BLANK SOLUTIONS.
