2 Overview What is Laser Ablation? Why use Laser Ablation? Which Wavelength? Current solutions Some Novel Applications 2
3 What is Laser Ablation? Laser Ablation is a solid sampling technique for use with: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) Can also be used with Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICPOES) A laser is used to generate a fine aerosol of sample particulate A carrier gas (He) is used to transport the particles to the ICP Particles are vaporised and ionised within the plasma Ions are then tranported via electronic or magnetic lenses to a detector where they are counted. Can be used on any solid sample! 3
4 What is Laser Ablation? Hit a sample surface with a high irradiance beam (1µm to 1mm diameter) Laser couples with the sample surface and creates a cloud of particulates Transported to the ICP-MS for detection via a He/Ar carrier stream He in ICP-MS Ablation Cell 4
5 Laser Ablation ICP-MS 5
6 What is Laser Ablation? Expanding plume of ablated material following ablation Short-pulse laser ablation is characterised by a plume of energised particles (visible to the naked eye) Ablation made on silicate glass using UP193SS Careful selection of resonator and homogenising optics gives a flat beam profile capable of depth profiling 6
7 Why use Laser Ablation? Samples can be difficult to digest PGE metals (Pt, Ir, Rh, Os, Pd) Loss of volatiles during digestion Plastics analysis for RoHS (e.g. Hg in PEEK) Quick and efficient sample introduction Easy route from solid to ICP No need for dilution (no loss of sensitivity) Minimising potential for contamination from sample handling High spatial resolution Spot size as low as 1 µm Ideal for spatial chemistry, e.g. zonation in minerals Can also do bulk analysis Breaking through the 1mm barrier High sample quantity for excellent sensitivity Large area for best homogenisation Reduced interferences Oxide interferences removed almost entirely (no water, no acid) Interferences mainly from matrix (polyatomic and isobaric) 7
8 Is Wavelength Important For My Application? What wavelengths are available? 266nm UP266MACRO 4 th Harmonic Solid State Laser (Nd:YAG) 213nm UP213 5 th Harmonic Solid State Laser (Nd:YAG) 193nm UP193FX or UP193SS ArF Excimer (Gas Phase) or pseudo 6 th Harmonic Solid State (Nd:YAG) 8
9 Is Wavelength Important For My Application? Percentage Transmittance NIST610 NIST612 NIST614 NIST nm <1% <1% <1% <1% 213nm <1% <1% <1% 1.5% 266nm <1% <1% 13% 24% 9
10 Is Wavelength Important For My Application? Highly coloured or non-reflective opaque materials can be analysed by all wavelengths (e.g. NIST610) Pale materials required low-uv (<213nm) Transparent and colourless materials require deep-uv (193nm) Fluid Inclusions, Gems, Thin Sections, Geo samples Ceramics, Teeth, Coral, Glasses, Otoliths Tree Rings, Biological Tissues, Plastics, Soils, Air Filters, Metals 266 nm 213 nm 193 nm 10
11 Is Wavelength Important For My Application? Lower wavelength leads to smaller particle size distribution Improved transportation to ICP More fully vaporised and ionised within ICP Higher sensitivity Less Fractionation Fluid Inclusions, Gems, Thin Sections, Geo samples Ceramics, Teeth, Coral, Glasses, Otoliths Tree Rings, Biological Tissues, Plastics, Soils, Air Filters, Metals 266 nm 213 nm 193 nm 11
12 What is Fractionation? Fractionation is a change in the measured ratio of isotopes compared to their true ratio Elemental fractionation is the change in measured relative concentration between different elements (e.g. Cu:Zn, U:Th) Isotopic fractionation is the change in measured relative concentration between isotopes of the same element (e.g. 206 Pb: 208 Pb) Can be caused: At the ablation process During the transport process Within the plasma Fractionation is reduced when the particles size distribution (PSD) is lower Use of lower wavelength (e.g. 193nm) reduces the PSD Use of shorter pulse width reduces the PSD 12
