Durrant, S. F. (1994). Feasibility of improvement in analytical performance in laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) by addition of nitrogen to the argon plasma. Fresenius J.Anal. Chem. 349(10/11), 768. [Pg.207]

Laser based mass spectrometric methods, such as laser ionization (LIMS) and laser ablation in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) are powerful analytical techniques for survey analysis of solid substances. To realize the analytical performances methods for the direct trace analysis of synthetic and natural crystals modification of a traditional analytical technique was necessary and suitable standard reference materials (SRM) were required. Recent developments allowed extending the range of analytical applications of LIMS and LA-ICP-MS will be presented and discussed. For example ... [Pg.425]
