Metal in Ureilites: Siderophile Elements from La-icp-ms

Introduction: Bulk ureilites have near chondritic abundances of siderophile elements [1-7], showing no correlation with Fe contents (~5-16 wt.%) or mg (molar Mg/[Mg+Fe]). These observations are difficult to reconcile with any igneous model for their silicates [8]. We address this problem through detailed characterization of the metal phases in ureilites [9], and petrologic modelling [10]. Here ...

Metal Profiling of Human Serum Using SEC-ICP-MS

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS): comparison of different internal standardization methods using laser-induced plasma (LIP) emission and LA-ICP-MS signals.

The source of signal variations that governs the analytical performance of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was investigated in this study. In order to specify the source of signal variations of LA-ICP-MS, laser-induced plasma (LIP) Fe emission, LA-ICP-MS Fe+ and LA-ICP-MS Ni+ signals were used as internal standards for the determination of trace elements ...

LA-iMageS: a software for elemental distribution bioimaging using LA–ICP–MS data

The spatial distribution of chemical elements in different types of samples is an important field in several research areas such as biology, paleontology or biomedicine, among others. Elemental distribution imaging by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is an effective technique for qualitative and quantitative imaging due to its high spatial resolution and s...
