2009 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry
30 July 2009
Read the latest articles published in JAAS from the 2009 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, held in February 2009, in Graz, Austria.

Highlights of the work presented at the conference include a Tutorial Review from Frank Vanhaecke and colleagues on the use of single-collector and multi-collector ICP-mass spectrometry for isotopic analysis, and a Hot Article from Barry Sharp and co-workers on an open, non-contact cell for laser ablation-ICP-mass spectrometry.
For an overview of the 2009 Winter Conference, please see Kevin Francesconi's Editorial.
