Laser vaporization- a novel sampling technique for the introduction of organic solutions into the ICP

A novel laser-based technique for introducing solutions into the ICP has been described, which has several advantages over the conventional nebulizer. The laser vaporization technique handles small volumes of test solutions, has a large dynamic range and produces no drain solution; features which make it particularly attractive in the handling of radioactive samples. In this paper, we have described the utility of this method in the analysis of organic solutions. (author). 1 ref., 1 fig
