#Teaching Resource
The following videos explain methods for trace element analysis of seawater samples used in the GEOTRACES programme. They have been developed with the aim of providing a useful resource for teachers and an attractive method for those willing to learn about trace metal sample analysis. Three videos are available:
Video #1: ICP_MS and ICP-OES for analysing marine samples explains the principles of ICP-OES and ICP-MS analysis.
Video #2: Calibrating and validating analysis of marine samples explains how instrumental readings are converted to quality-checked analytical results for marine samples.
Video #3: Trace metal clean preparation of marine samples explains the principles of working in a clean room with marine samples.
These videos were produced at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), supported by the Volkswagen Stiftung, as part of the GEOTRACES summer school 2022, organised by Walter Geibert and Claudia Hanfland.
