Quantitative Analysis of Polypropylene by LA-ICP-OES

Laser ablation is the term given when removing material from a surface by irradiating it with a laser beam in order to qualitatively analyze it. This method has been proven to produce accurate quantitative results which rival those from traditional methods. The study in this application note from Teledyne Cetac looks at the use of ICP-OES system software when demonstrating Laser Ablation can be run without off-line data reduction or internal standardization.
