Elemental analysis of copper and magnesium alloy samples using IR-laser ablation in comparison with spark and glow discharge methods

Abstract

Three methods for direct solid sampling of bulk material namely IR laser ablation, glow discharge and spark OES, were compared with respect to analytical figures of merit obtained for elemental analysis with atomic spectrometry. Matrices investigated were copper, pressed doped copper powder, and magnesium alloys. For the vast majority of analytes, statistical equivalence regarding precision (usually ≤5%) and the performance of the calibrations between the compared methods was demonstrated.
