David Clases is an associate professor at the University of Graz in Vienna, Austria. Clases’ research spans fundamental and applied aspects of inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), from laser ablation-ICP-MS to ICP-time of flight MS (ICP-TOFMS) and single-particle analysis.
Part II of our conversation with David Clases focused on his proof-of-concept analysis of microplastic and TiO₂ nanoparticles, and the new insights that emerged from simultaneously accessing size, molecular identity, and elemental composition at the single-particle level.
In this interview clip, David Clasas of the University of Graz discusses the trapping mechanism of the OF2i and how it improves downstream Raman and ICP-TOFMS measurements and also highlights the multimodal approach his team used to improve microplastic analysis.
