“…The results presented in this study represent the average of 3 laser ablation passes following pre-cleaning by a previous laser ablation scan. For the purpose of this study, we chose not to use a laser ablation standard due to the difficulties of obtaining matrix-matched traceelement standards and the strong matrix dependence of laser-fractionation [25,26]. Instead, Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios were calculated directly from measured ion-beam intensities (corrected for isotopic abundance).…”

“…The normalization on the signal intensity of a main component is a well-known procedure [15,16,17] to compensate matrix effects based on the assumption that the physical properties of a sample are primarily determined by its main components. In the case of laser ablation, it is not always possible to correct the ablation differences by normalization on a single element.…”

The potential of laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was investigated for the inorganic characterization of different coal samples pressed into pellets. Reference analysis was performed by microwave-assisted digestion of the ground samples followed by ICP-MS analysis of the resulting solutions. Two different laser ablation sampling procedures were compared. For continuous sampling, three sites of the pellet were sampled for approximately one minute, whereas for sequential sampling 15 sites were sampled for two seconds, respectively. The qualitative results of the two procedures were equivalent, but continuous sampling allowed faster analysis and better precision (RSD about 10%) than sequential sampling (RSD 10-20%). Different normalization procedures with internal and extrinsic standards were investigated and allowed a quantitative determination of Al, Ti, Zn, Ni, and V with measurement uncertainties below 10% and Fe, Si, and Sn with measurement uncertainties below 20%.

“…Analysis of environmental samples containing natural carbonate compounds can be mentioned here as a good example [71,72]. Craig et al [72] compared calibration using a standard glass material, calcium carbonate powders spiked with liquid standards of selected elements and natural geological reference materials, and the last approach was preferred over the first two approaches. Bellotto & Miekeley [71] proposed co-precipitation of multi-element liquid standards into a CaCO 3 matrix.…”

Accurate determination of elements in various kinds of samples is essential for many areas, including environmental science, medicine, as well as industry. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful tool enabling multi-elemental analysis of numerous matrices with high sensitivity and good precision. Various calibration approaches can be used to perform accurate quantitative measurements by ICP-MS. They include the use of pure standards, matrix-matched standards, or relevant certified reference materials, assuring traceability of the reported results. This review critically evaluates the advantages and limitations of different calibration approaches, which are used in quantitative analyses by ICP-MS. Examples of such analyses are provided. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Quantitative mass spectrometry’.
