Laser Ablation ICP-MS: Precise High-Throughput Analysis of Rare Earth Elements

Introduction

With the increasing demand for high-specification electronic devices, the discovery of rare earth elements (REEs) has become crucial. However, traditional inorganic analysis methods for geological survey samples are time-consuming and produce extensive chemical waste.

In this webinar, we will discuss how Laser ablation (LA) of fused beads can bypass the need for acid digestion, reducing waste and resource consumption. By coupling ESI's LaserTRAX system with PerkinElmer's NexION 5000 Multi-Quadrupole ICP-MS, we can provide a fast, cost-effective, and precise analysis for both major and minor elements within these fused beads. Join us to learn more about how this technology can revolutionize REE analysis in mining and exploration.
