Inductively coupled argon plasma as an ion source for mass spectrometric determination of trace elements

Determinations of osmium isotope ratios in iron meteorites and iridosmines by ICP-MS.

“…Luck and Allegre (1983) In this paper, we will report Os isotope reported the half life value of (4.56 ± 0.12) X ratios in iron meteorites and iridosmines as well 1010y based on the meteoritic isochron. On the as Os reagents measured by ICP-MS. ICP-MS other hand, Lindner et al (1986) measured Os uses inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as an isotope ratios in HReO4 by two different types atmospheric ion source for a quadrupole mass of mass spectrometers, an inductively coupled spectrometer (Gray, 1975(Gray, , 1985Gray and Date, plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and a laser 1983; Houk et al, 1980). The most prelimina microprobe mass analyzer (LAMMA).…”

Time-resolved ICP-MS Measurement: a New Method for Elemental and Multiparametric Analysis of Single Cells

“…11 In the early stages of its utilization, trace elements were major targets of measurements for investigating their biological effects and functions. Since around 2002, the birth year of the concept of "Metallomics", 12,13 the application of ICP-MS has been spreading to quantify biomolecules with direct relation to microbial cells, based on its excellent elemental detecting capability.…”

Baseline investigation of Saudi seashore water concentrations along the Gulf of Aqaba

“…Dr Alan Gray of Applied Research Laboratories in Luton, UK, conducted much of the early research work that led to the commercial development of ICP-MS instrumentation [9]. Another important publication by Houk et al in 1980 demonstrated the possibilities offered by the ICP-MS technique [14].…”
