Multi-element Accurate Analysis of Sulfide Minerals by Low-temperature Ablation LA-ICP-MS by Huilai LI, Fan LI, Dingwen ZHANG, Wei GUO, Lanlan JIN, Shenghong HU

“…The average diameters were 190nm and 400nm, both smaller than at room temperature, while the peak width was shorter. The chemical composition of fine particles produced at low temperature is closer to the sample body, improving the transport and ionization of aerosol in ICP, reducing element fractionation, and enhancing the signal strength and stability, thereby improving the analytical performance of ICP-MS.CONCLUSIONSA new high-precision and accuracy method for determination of trace elements in sulfide minerals has been developed using the CLA-ICP-MS system. …”
