“…The advantages include that it is a relatively nondestructive technique, as the laser produces a small (approximately 200-μm) impact crater in which a very low amount of mass is removed from the sample (a few micrograms) [52]. Other positive characteristics of LIBS include its rapid analysis time, and its requirement of minimal to no sample processing [52][53][54]. The main disadvantage cited in the literature was a problem with reproducibility [55].…”

“…Archeological bone and teeth analysis by LIBS is also frequent in the literature; in recent years these studies have tended to investigate the degradation and/or diagenesis processes of such artefacts [196,197].…”

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has become an established analytical atomic spectrometry technique and is valued for its very compelling set of advantageous analytical and technical characteristics. It is a rapid, versatile, non-contact technique, which is capable of providing qualitative and quantitative analytical information for practically any sample, in a virtually non-destructive way, without any substantial sample preparation. The instrumentation is simple, robust, compact, and even enables remote analysis. This review attempts to give a critical overview of the diverse progress of the field, focusing on the results of the last five years. The advancement of LIBS instrumentation and data evaluation is discussed in detail and selected results of some prominent applications are also described.

“…Recently, Hrdlička et al 53 developed a remote LIBS system for investigating a calcified tissue sample at a distance of up to 6 m and tested it in the laboratory. Kasem et al 54 studied the influence of biological degradation and environmental effects for the interpretation of archaeological bones from three different ancient Egyptian dynasties using LIBS. The authors concluded that post-mortem effects must be taken into consideration for studying dietary habits.…”

Applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) are growing rapidly and continue to extend its horizon to include a broad variety of materials. The recent progress made in the field has transformed LIBS from being an elemental analysis technique to the one applicable for the analysis of molecularly complex biological samples and specimens. LIBS has thus, proven its capability as detection, characterization and identification tool for studying a range of biological specimens and biomaterials. A review is presented here to discuss recent developments and future potential of LIBS and its viability for possible biomedical applications.
