Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a key technique for trace element analysis across a wide variety of sample types, due to its outstanding speed, detection sensitivity and ...
Metal elements play a vital role in life on Earth and are an essential part of foods for humans and animals. Elements can either be introduced as contaminants during food processing or be taken up by ...
Contrary to their name, rare earth elements (REE) constitute a significant portion of the Earth's crust, where they exist dispersed among various minerals. The demand for REE has surged in recent ...
We developed extraction and analysis protocols for element detection in neonatal blood spots (NBSs) using sector-field inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS). A 5% (v/v) nitric acid ...
Today, nanoparticles are being utilized in a wide variety of products and materials, such as clothing, coatings, fuel additives, antimicrobial bandages, biomedical elemental tags, sunscreen, MRI ...
