Bureau Veritas Laser Ablation ICP-MS analysis is designed to meet a broad range of analytical requirements with a single cost effective method. In Lithogeochemistry Mode LA-ICP-MS capitilises on BV’s high productivity robotic fusion technology with state of the art laser ablation and ICP-MS instruments to provide a fully extracted quantitative analysis for all elements. Detection limits are comparable to industry leading mixed acid trace element ICP-MS packages.

n Total analysis at trace and ultra trace detection limits equivalent to mixed acid ICP-MS packages.n Simplifies the analysis process to a single, cost effective fusion.n XRF and ICP-MS capabilities can be combined to extend the dynamic range in one analysis (eg. U from 10ppb to % level.n Minimises hazards and waste due to elimination of corrosive acids.

LA-ICP-MS BENEFITS

n Spot analyses can be conducted on select mineral grains for full chemical analysis or over a given area to provide quantitative false colour element maps. Grain mount or thin section options are available.

Bureau Veritas provide leading testing and inspection services for the global commodities industry

Traditional multi element lithogeochemistry analysis packages require a number of different digestion methods and instruments in order to achieve optimum results.

Alternatively, when XRF is included with LA-ICP-MS into a combined package, only a single Li-borate fusion is digestion is required. This method will provide major elements from XRF, trace and minor elements from LA-ICP-MS.
