Chapter 2, Table T6. Analytical conditions for ICP-AES analyses.

Notes: ICP-AES = inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. N = number. * = limit of detection reported as oxide (wt%). ** = from Shipboard Scientific Party, 2002 (Leg 197). Instrument detection limits represent 3 times the instrument blank.
