Abstract

The aim of this series of two reviews is to introduce the basic concepts of ICP and GD sector field instruments, to discuss their peculiarities and performance, to present selected analytical applications for demonstration of the ‘state of the art’ and, finally, to identify possible future trends and developments. Part I focuses on fundamentals, instrumentation and operation of instruments to give an overview of the capabilities of the actual commercially available instrumentation, whereas selected applications will be discussed in detail in part II.
