Inorganic Trace Analysis
Division 1.1
The focus of the division Inorganic Trace Analysis is located at the development of ICP-MS based methods for the (ultra-)trace analysis of metals, as well as isotope ratios. To investigate the lateral distribution of elements laserablation-ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS) is employed.
Fields of expertise
