Improved Resolution and Precision for High Quality Elemental Imaging of Tissue Samples Using Laser Ablation – ICP-MS

Laser Ablation ICP-MS is a powerful tool for the spatial resolved elemental analysis of solid samples. This poster describes the application of this technique to two different sample types, A part of an Ammonite samples was analysed to get an image of the elemental distribution for various elements within the sample area. In a second application a strip of blotted proteins, separated by electrophoresis separation was investigated to identify the metal containing proteins.
