Atomic Spectrometry Update—Inorganic Mass Spectrometry and X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

Abstract

This mass spectrometry review covers abstracts reported in the Atomic Spectrometry Update References in JAAS, Volume 2 (87/1504–87/1802) and Volume 3 (88/1–88/1468) plus some additional references cited in full. The review of ICP-MS is based on full abstracts prepared or collated by ASU members but the other MS topics are less comprehensively and less critically reviewed because the ASU abstracting procedure had not been in operation for most of the review period. Future MS reviews will be founded on ASU abstracts.

This first ASU devoted exclusively to X-ray fluorescence is also based on abstracts reported in the same period, plus some additional references, which are cited in full.
