“…The most often reported calibration approach is based on the use of Standard Reference Material (SRM) NIST 610 glass, which is available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It nominally contains ca 500 µg g −1 of 61 elements present in the silicate matrix (Si-Na-Ca-Al) [58,59]. Interestingly, this homogeneous SRM glass material is commonly used as the external standard, even if no matrix matching is assured [60].…”

“…Probably owing to this feature, the literature reports many custom-developed matrix-matched calibration approaches, which should fit to various applications of LA-ICP-MS in quantitative elemental analysis [54][55][56][57][58].

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’.

A novel calibration method has been developed for the bulk analysis of solid samples through laser ablation -inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).The method has been called dried droplet calibration approach (DDCA). This procedure is thus based on the deposition of a small aqueous standard volume (c.a., 1 µL) on the flat surface of a solid sample. Then, the solvent is allowed to completely evaporate at room temperature and the solid residue is finally ablated. The implicit assumptions of the DDCA are that: (i) a single raster is enough to fully ablate the solid layer originating from the evaporation of the standard; and, (ii) the solid residue does not affect the sample ablation yield. Both hypothesis have been verified in the present work.Therefore, several rasters have been done on the solid residues and the generated

“…Various calibration strategies for LA-ICP-MS have been reported and applied to the analysis of geological, environmental, biological, and medicine samples. [1][2][3][4][5][6] However, there is not a single calibration strategy covering all kinds of samples. Therefore, improvement of calibration strategies for LA-ICP-MS is still required for quantitative analysis.…”

A strategy was presented for quantitative analysis of trace elements in a glass sample by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-QMS/QMS) with an octapole reaction cell (ORC). Silicon in the glass was used as the internal standard as well as the matrix for making the calibrating solutions. Sample aerosols generated by the laser ablation system were introduced into the dual pass spray chamber through the make-up gas port. Calibrating solutions were nebulized into the spray chamber using a microflow nebulizer. The silicon matrix-matched calibrating solutions produced a calibration curve capable for the quantitative analysis of trace elements in a silicate glass sample, NIST SRM 612. The analytical results agreed with the certified values, taking into consideration their expanded uncertainties. The detection limits for Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, As, Sr, Ag, Cd, Sb, Ba, and Pb, were respectively 0.
