Tutorial Review
An overview of the applications of total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical research
Ensuring reliable elemental analysis in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical research is a prerequisite to human safety. Here we report on the use of total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, its state-of the art and challenges in those fields.
In situ online detection of atmospheric particulate matter based on laser induced breakdown spectroscopy: a review
To illustrate the new progress of LIBS in the field of atmospheric particulate matter detection, several typical cases are listed, including liquid aerosol, isotope, indoor particulate matter, and industrial scene particulate matter.
Flow techniques in the analysis of biological samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry – a review
Our work presents numerous examples where coupling flow techniques with ICP-MS enabled obtaining promising results in biological sample analyses. Yet, such a connection is not commonly applied, and we hope to encourage scientists to benefit from it.
