“…Fractionation can occur during transport and involves selective vapor condensation on tubing walls, or selective nucleation of species on different sized particle [76,88,89]. [76] showed the presence of particles significantly enriched in certain elements from laser ablation of NIST 610-glass and mammal tooth, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).…”

Laser ablation is becoming a dominant technology for direct solid sampling in analytical chemistry. Laser ablation refers to the process in which an intense burst of energy delivered by a short laser pulse is used to sample (remove a portion of) a material. The advantages of laser ablation chemical analysis include direct characterization of solids, no chemical procedures for dissolution, reduced risk of contamination or sample loss, analysis of very small samples not separable for solution analysis, and determination of spatial distributions of elemental composition. This review describes recent research to understand and utilize laser ablation for direct solid sampling, with emphasis on sample introduction to an inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Current research related to contemporary experimental systems, calibration and optimization, and fractionation is discussed, with a summary of applications in several areas.

Laser ablation (LA) is a unique technique to transform a solid sample into vapor‐phase constituents, which then can be chemically analyzed by atomic spectroscopy. Ablation brings many exciting capabilities to the field of chemical analysis, primarily because of the laser‐beam properties. The ability to analyze directly any solid samplewithout sample preparation and minimal sample‐quantity requirements are just some of the unique capabilities. This article discusses current issues related to using LA in atomic spectroscopy. A general introduction to LA sampling is presented along with a comparison with other solid sampling techniques. The critical issues for all analytical techniques are calibration, accuracy, and sensitivity. Techniques that have been demonstrated to address these analytical characteristics and define these parameters for LA are investigated in detail. Finally, many unique applications are described, ranging from dating geological materials to providing crime‐scene evidence. Most of these applications could not be performed without the use of a laser beam. The inductively coupled plasma (ICP) will be emphasized in this article because it is currently the most prevalent excitation and ionization source for chemical analysis using LA.

“…The DOE Material Disposition program selected laser ablation as the technology for direct characterization of pre-and post-blend PuO 2 powers before ceramic formation (24). Argonne West has studied laser ablation for uranium characterization (25)(26)(27). Finally, laser ablation was identified by the DOE CMST program as a key technology for EM and by the TFA for further developing the system at the Hanford Waste Site (28).…”
