How Does LA-ICP-MS Compare to Other Analytical Techniques?
When compared to other techniques like Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and ICP-OES, LA-ICP-MS offers superior sensitivity and spatial resolution. While AAS and ICP-OES are effective for bulk analysis, they lack the ability to provide detailed spatial information within samples, which is crucial for understanding the distribution of toxicants in heterogeneous tissues.
