ABSTRACT

The final chapter of the book is dedicated to providing you with useful contact information related to atomic spectroscopy (AS). It includes contact details for manufacturers of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instrumentation, instrument consumables, sample introduction components, and alternative sources of sampling accessories, together with suppliers of laboratory chemicals, calibration standards, certified reference materials, high-purity gases, deionized water systems, and clean-room equipment. I have also included information about the major scientific conferences, professional societies, publishing houses, and Internet discussion groups, and the most popular ICP-related journals. It is sorted alphabetically by category. However, some vendors sell many different products, so they are listed under the category represented by their major product line. Please note that contact information for users in North America is given, even for vendors whose corporate headquarters are outside the United States. Please visit the websites given for support issues or ordering information in other parts of the world.450 451
