Electrothermal vaporization with two filaments was studied for low-pressure helium-ICP-MS. A 10-µl volume of sample was dried and vaporized, and then introduced to the ICP. With this technique, four elements were simultaneously determined with the acceptable precisions (RSD ca. 10%). The detection limit based on 3 σ of background signals approached the fractional ppb range. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of the certified reference material for human hair.
