Trace and bulk analysis

The power of laser ablation can be extended as a popular method for trace and bulk analysis in conjunction with ICP-OES and is an invaluable tool in the study of surface behaviour particularly where sensitive surfaces are important. The common area for surface knowledge is in environment, medicines, adhesives, powders, slurries, oil-based samples and liquids. It finds application in the analysis of metallurgical samples, non-conductive polymers, ceramic materials, surface mapping, elemental migration, depth profiling, thin film coatings, biological and clinical specimens, forensic, paint chips, inks, bullets, fabrics, etc.
