WLAVEL, you should know that the ICP have their own shortcomings relative to the extremely refractory PGM. They under read the more refractory metals, unless you leave the plasma on for longer periods. The refractory metals do not vaporize homogeneously in the short reading times usually used and as a result, Rh and Ir for instance, are often underestimated. Even Pt can suffer from this if other less refractory metals are present and keep the plasma a little "cold".
