Trace Analysis of Wet Atmospheric Deposition by Nuclear Methods

Lyophilization: a useful approach to the automation of analytical processes?

“…The latter target-preparation method yielded better detection limits for all elements. However, the gain in sensitivity, which is 60% at the most for low-Z elements, was not considered large enough to warrant the use of dry-ashing procedures in PIXE batch-analytical situations as is usually the case with biomedical work [71].…”
