Characterizing Cr isotopic variability in meteorites provides information on the origin of extraterrestrial material. These include stellar sources (e.g. background supernova remnants), solar system processing from early condensates and planets.

The cover artwork illustrates the use of LA-single collector-DRCICPMS for the discrimination among Spanish antique lead-glazed ceramics. The image shows a ceramic fragment (11th c. AD), originating from Albarracin (Teruel), which portrays the head of a dragon. Image reproduced by permission of M. Resano.

The image depicts a distorted view of the Periodic Table showing the elements that are important from both a biomedical and environmental health perspective, with lead the major focus. The amount of lead in biological reference materials, such as bone, can be certified by isotope dilution ICP-MS, via the equation shown.

Image depicts a new method for separating Rb and Sr using ETV-ICP-MS. Reproduced by permission of James A. Holcombe.
DOI: 10.1039/b709089g
Image shows a novel introduction of aerosol into flame AAS; a stainless steel plate is put on the top of the flame burner in the middle to form a flame-free zone which lowers the temperature of the flame furnace and facilitates the online atom trapping process.
