Single-Particle ICP-MS Transient Signals

FIGURE 22.10 A comparison of a sample (a) containing dissolved metal in solution being analyzed and measured in the conventional way and another sample (b) containing the same metal in the form of nanoparticles being analyzed and measured as a transient pulses of ions. 

FIGURE 22.11 A time resolved analysis of 30 nm gold particles by sp-ICP-MS showing the that pulse is fully eharacterized in 1 ms. (Courtesy of PerkinEhner, Ine., 2003-2012. All rights reserved. With permission.)
