Laser ablation ICPMS analysis of real world samples
- Los Alamos National Lab., NM (United States)
There is a need to develop a rugged, rapid, accurate in-situ technique to provide elemental data for solid radioactive (hot) samples. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA/ICPMS) is an attractive method for application to this problem. LA/ICPMS provides rapid analyses without the need for sample preparation or digestion. LA/ICPMS is also capable of providing in-situ analysis with spatial information for elemental composition. Laser ablated material can be introduced remotely via tubing into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP/MS) system. This allows the mass spectrometer and operator to sit away from the actual sample, which is ideal for hot sample analysis. Mass spectrometric detection allows positive identification for elements with less spectral interferences than for atomic emission spectroscopy (AES).
