Specific methods for its determination based on the use of particle standards have been developed and widely applied (particle frequency and particle size methods). A refined indirect method not relying on particle standards is also available (dynamic mass flow method). A number of discrepancies on the accuracy of these methods and their adequacy have become evident, making a revision of the topic pertinent. In fact, the application of the particle frequency and particle size methods determine the transport efficiencies corresponding to the particles or the dissolved element respectively, whereas the solvent transport efficiency is actually measured by the dynamic mass flow method. The use of each of these methods requires assuming different conditions that must be considered. These conditions, together with the sources of bias associated to each method are critically discussed to provide a holistic and harmonized view of transport efficiency in the context of SP-ICP-MS metrology info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/E29-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-123203OB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 3.8 2024 SPECTROSCOPY 7 / 44 = 0.159 2024 Q1 T1 0.691 2024 Analytical Chemistry 2024 Q2 Spectroscopy 2024 Q2 Instrumentation 2024 Q2 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2024 Q2 6.5 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Laborda, Francisco Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4169-0357 2009 750 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
