We herein proposed a sample introduction technique based on solution cathode glow
discharge (SCGD) of a portable design for inductively coupled plasma-optical emission …

The collection of solid particulates and liquids from surfaces by the use of cloth swipes is
fairly ubiquitous. In such methods, there is a continuous concern regarding the ability to …

An automated microextraction method coupled to an inductively coupled plasma–mass
spectrometer (ICP-MS) was developed for the direct analysis of solid uranium particulates …

A new, multi-electrode, liquid sampling glow discharge ionization source for mass
