Laser Ablation - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is an analytical technique for determining the chemical and isotopic composition of solid samples, especially prominent in the fields of geology and petrology, but also materials science and increasingly, due to its imaging capability, the life sciences.
The RESOlution Laser Ablation systems - LR and SE models - are in use with all mass spectrometers supplied by leading ICP-MS manufacturers.
