Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been
successfully applied for multi-element and isotopic analyses in a wide variety of solid …

We developed an advanced method for producing undiluted nano-particulate pressed
powder tablets without addition of any binder applying wet-milling protocols in aqueous …

This work was carried out to monitor contamination levels of twelve heavy metals (HMs) in
the agricultural soils of Kafr El-Zayat city in Egypt. The concentrations of Mg, V, Cr, Mn, Fe …

Sediments colonised by three halophyte species, Spartina maritima (Curtis) Fernald,
Halimione portulacoides (L.) Aellen and Sarcocornia fruticosa (L.) Scott) and bulk sediment …

The concentrations of 11 heavy metals in sediments from Lake Edku, Egypt were
determined using LA-ICP-MS. The average concentrations of elements occurred in the order …

The interaction of near infrared femtosecond laser pulses with a Cu based alloy (brass) in
ambient air at atmospheric pressure and under different laser conditions was investigated …

Determination of metal elements in columbite ores is of great importance in understanding
the potential economic significance and the origin of deposits. LA-ICP-MS is recognized as a …

A simple method for immobilizing powder samples was proposed to prepare calibration
standards for the analyses of bulk elemental compositions of solid samples by LA-ICP-MS …

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) line-scanning is
a promising technique for producing high-resolution (μm-scale) geochemical records on …

The present study is based on the use of a conventional quadrupole ICP-MS for determining
directly rare earth elements (REEs) in both fresh or slightly saline waters and digested …
