ESI NWR 213 Laser Ablation system:
       

Laser Ablation (LA) is a solid sampling technique that uses short pulses of high intensity light to convert a solid sample directly into an aerosol, which is transferred into the ICP ion source for analysis, typically by ICP-MS. It is capable of sampling almost all solid samples, including conducting, non-conducting and biological materials.
