Abstract
A method of determining a coefficient for converting an analog current value into a pulse count value in an inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy apparatus (ICP-MS) is described. The ICP-MS is configured to generate the pulse count value and the analog current value as a signal intensity indicating a density of an element in a sample to be measured.
