The production of metal hydrides is used to increase the sensitivity of LIBS analysis of liquids. The authors undertake an extensive study to optimise the experimental conditions for inert gas (Ar providing significant improvement for most elements), delay and gate times, spectral line, flow rate and the addition of oxidizing/reducing agents to improve detection limits.
