Abstract
A method, system, and mixture for simultaneously cleaning and reconditioning at least a part of a sampling pathway of an inline automated mass spectrometry system are disclosed. A sampling pathway including a probe or a nebulizer, in one example, may be simultaneously reconditioned and cleaned by mixing an isotopically enriched species and/or natural abundant species with a cleaning solution, and then cleaning the sampling pathway with the spiked cleaning solution through various means and procedures.
