Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)
The laboratory is equipped with a Bruker Aurora Elite ICP-MS and a 193 nm Cetac Analyte G2 excimer laser installed with a two volume HelEx2 sample cell. LA-ICP-MS is a powerful method for element analysis in a wide variety of solid materials (i.e. minerals, bone & teeth materials, wood, ceramics, etc.) at spatial resolutions from a few up to several hundred µm. Quantitative analyses can be obtain
