Investigation of natural colloidal particles contained metals in lake water by single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

Atomic spectrometry update – a review of advances in environmental analysis

“…The pretreatment of samples for single particle ICP-MS analysis has been investigated. Natural colloidal particles were determined 82 in lake water after filtration or centrifugation. Perhaps counter intuitively and in contrast to the method reported above in which NPs and colloids were trapped on ultrafilters, in this study samples were filtered and the filtrate analysed.…”
