Chapter 1 Introduction
iTEVA is a powerful and exible Windows®- based application that is
used to acquire, process, store and report analytical data from ermo
Scientic’s iCAP ICP spectrometers.
is manual describes the features of the program and explains how
the analyst can generate analytical methods and data processing
routines to determine the concentration of elements in complex
samples. e program includes a broad variety of features to allow the
analyst to congure methods and sequences to obtain manual and
automated analytical results.
