For a number of elements, spectroscopic interferences can have a significant impact on the ability to achieve low detection limits in ICP-MS. We investigate the mechanisms in multi-quadrupole ICP-MS that are designed to remove these interferences.

Multi-Quadrupole ICP-MS: Pushing Limits of Detection to the Next Decimal

“It was a dark and stormy night…”
Everyone should begin at least one paper, story, or other publication with that well-worn phrase. This was my chance.

Atomic Spectroscopy: Is the End Near?

There is no doubt that funding for basic science in analytical atomic spectroscopy has waned over the years, and, in reality, barely exists today.

Great interest has recently aroused in the study of the dysregulation of chemical elements within tissues. Information about the distribution of elements in biological tissues can contribute to a more complete medical diagnosis, and can guide therapeutic procedures for many pathologies.

LIBS Imaging Is Entering the Clinic as a New Diagnostic Tool

An ongoing challenge within the forensic science community is the development of consistent report and testimony language that conveys results in a meaningful manner.

Developing More Uniform Comparison Language in Forensic Science Reportings
