Liquids for analysis were dried onto pellets of CaCO3 and Graphite. In general, the graphite pellets yielded lower detection limits. |
Element | Detection Limit (ppm) | Wavelength (nm) | Other Wavelengths (nm) | Calibration Method | Calibration Range (ppm) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cs | 600.0000 (Smallest Peak Observed) | 852.1000 | N/A | Univariate | 600.0000-10000.0000 | No LIBS peaks were detected for Cs on CaCO3 pellets, but detection limit of 600pm observed on the graphite pellet |
Ce | 100.0000 (Smallest Peak Observed) | 305.8000 | 303 | Univariate | 100.0000-10000.0000 | Significantly better detection limits for analysis of liquid dried onto graphite pellets compared to CaCO3. Authors attribute this to better laser absorption leading to more energy transmitted into the plasma |
Sr | 10.0000 (Smallest Peak Observed) | None | N/A | Univariate | 10.0000-1000.0000 | Not the main focus of this paper. Obtained by drying solution onto CaCO3 pellet |
