A technique for analysis of powdered or densified nonconductive materials by spark source mass spectrography is based on the use of a conducting probe against the compacted sample to initiate sparking. Results on MgO show significant quantities of anion impurities which are not generally reported. Analyses of CdS powder indicate low contamination from sample preparation.
