Laser ablation-inductively coupled glazes, analysis

The compositions of the ceramic glazes were examined using laser-ablation inductively coupled-mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS) at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR). LA-ICP-MS is a surface analysis technique requiring little sample preparation. Because of its small spot size, areas of weathered glaze could be avoided during analysis (24). [Pg.424]

Speakman and his colleagues describe the application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to the elemental analysis of obsidian, chert, pottery and painted and glazed surfaces. Only a very small area is affected in the laser ablation sampling, usually 1000 pm by 1000 pm by 30 pm. Their method is virtually nondestructive since the ablated area is not visible to the naked eye. Because ICP-MS has a lower detection limit than other... [Pg.3]
