J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2010, 25, 150
DOI: 10.1039/b920966b
X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) is presented as a surface characterization tool for the compositional analysis of B, C, N and O light elements in thin film materials.
Stable silicon isotope analysis on nanomole quantities using MC-ICP-MS with a hexapole gas-collision cell
Xiaole Sun, Per Andersson, Magnus Land, Christoph Humborg and Carl-Magnus Mörth,
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2010, 25, 156
DOI: 10.1039/b911113a
By using a single focusing low-resolution MC-ICP-MS equipped with a hexapole gas-collision cell (Helium), we can precisely and accurately measure the 
29Si (2S.D., 0.2
) with a total Si consumption of less than 14 nmol (390 ng Si).
High-resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry of nitrogen monoxide and its application for the determination of nitrate
Mao-Dong Huang, Helmut Becker-Ross, Stefan Florek, Uwe Heitmann, Michael Okruss, Bernhard Welz and Hadla S. Ferreira,
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2010, 25, 163
DOI: 10.1039/b916732c
A new approach for the determination of nitrate using NO molecular absorption in the graphite furnace and high-resolution continuum source absorption spectrometry is introduced.
Speciation analysis of As, Sb and Se in leachates of cementitious construction materials using selective solid phase extraction and ICP-MS
Mesay Mulugeta, Grethe Wibetoe, Christian J. Engelsen and Walter Lund,
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2010, 25, 169
DOI: 10.1039/b919994m
The SPE method was optimized in a two-step multivariate approach: evaluating the effect of experimental factors (I), and identifying the optimum conditions (II). The separation procedure involves interference removal by ion-pair extraction (III) followed by the selective extraction of the APDC complexes of As, Sb and Se species (IV).

Non-matrix matched quantification of magnesium diboride crystals by nanosecond (ns) and femtosecond (fs) LA-ICP-MS resulted in stoichiometries of MgB and MgB2, respectively, which demonstrates the feasibility of fs-LA for suppressing laser-induced elemental fractionation.
