ICP-MS and ICP-OES Studies of Gold from a Late Sarmatian Burial

Ratio‐Au: A FRET‐based Fluorescent Probe for Ratiometric Determination of Gold Ions and Nanoparticles

“…Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), and anodic stripping voltammetry [8] have been used for detection of gold ions and AuNPs. The fluorescence-analysis method is advantageous due to the simplicity in operation and the high sensitivity.…”

Thracian golden wreath from Kabyle, Bulgaria: chemical composition

“…Copper and silver are the major metallic impurities in native gold and most gold ores (Boyle, 1987;Hall et al, 1998;Pohl, 1992). In general, the silver concentration in ancient gold objects from Europe is within 4 to 45% (Hauptmann et al, 2010;Kulef et al, 2009;Pantazis et al, 2003) with the most common concentrations of about 12-14% Ag (Hauptmann et al, 2010;Pantazis et al, 2003).…”

Geochemical Characterization of Lapita Pottery Via Inductively Coupled Plasma–mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS)

“…Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) is an analytical technique that is becoming increasingly popular for determining the provenance of materials found in archaeological contexts (Tykot and Young 1996; Young et al 1997; Hall et al 1998; Mallory‐Greenough et al 1998, 1999; Pingitore et al 1998; Tykot 1998; Bentley 2000; Kennett et al 2001, 2002; Speakman and Neff 2002; Neff 2003). The potential advantages of ICP–MS compared to other techniques include: (1) the ability to analyse small samples, thus making it a less destructive technique (particularly when coupled with laser ablation); (2) more target analytes (~70); (3) lower detection limits (parts per billion) on more elements relative to other techniques; (4) the possibility of measuring the isotopic ratios of some elements; and (5) a lower cost per sample, particularly compared to INAA (see Tykot and Young 1996; Kennett et al .…”
