Depending on the sample type, we can gain a wealth of information from sample maps beyond what is available from single or multiple spot analyses or single lines/rasters.   Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) provides high spatial lateral resolution and can be used to construct trace element maps with minimal destruction of the sample. A study using LA-ICP-MS completed by Teledyne CETAC, Arkansas Biosciences Institute and Arkansas State University compiled and interpreted elemental maps for three distinct sample types: banded iron formation (BIF), human teeth and fish otolith.   [Read More](https://blog.cetac.com/elemental-mapping-of-teeth-otolith-and-banded-iron-by-laser-ablation-inductively-coupled-plasma-mass-spectrometry) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.cetac.com/elemental-mapping-of-teeth-otolith-and-banded-iron-by-laser-ablation-inductively-coupled-plasma-mass-spectrometry#comments-listing) Tags: [LSX-213](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/lsx-213), [Laser Ablation](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/laser-ablation) [All posts](https://blog.cetac.com/all) ### Subscribe via E-mail ### Latest Posts ### Posts by category - [Laser Ablation (10)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/laser-ablation) - [LA-ICP-MS (5)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/la-icp-ms) - [Elemental Imaging (4)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/elemental-imaging) - [Nebulizers (3)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/nebulizers) - [Trace Element Mapping (3)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/trace-element-mapping) - [Arsenic (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/arsenic) - [Automation (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/automation) - [Blog Introduction (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/blog-introduction) - [Chemistry (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/chemistry) - [Chemists (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/chemists) - [Elements (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/elements) - [Environmental (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/environmental) - [Geology (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/geology) - [ICP-AES (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/icp-aes) - [ICP-MS (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/icp-ms) - [LSX-213 (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/lsx-213) - [Lead (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/lead) - [Lead Remediation (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/lead-remediation) - [Nitrates (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/nitrates) - [Paleontology (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/paleontology) - [Pharmaceuticals (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/pharmaceuticals) - [Sample Preparation (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/sample-preparation) - [Soil (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/soil) - [Solar Cells (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/solar-cells) - [Water (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/water) - [isotope ratio analysis (1)](https://blog.cetac.com/topic/isotope-ratio-analysis) ### Follow Me ![TCETAC-C+2-1](https://blog.cetac.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TCETAC-C+2-1.png?width=255&name=TCETAC-C+2-1.png) Teledyne CETAC Technologies | 14306 Industrial Road | Omaha, NE 68144 USA | [Terms and Conditions](http://cetac.teledyneweb.com/index.php/about/terms) \[p\] 800.369.2822 | \[p\] 402.733.2829 | \[f\] 402.733.1932 | cetacsales@teledyne.com Copyright 2020 Teledyne Technologies Incorporated.
