Description Included (Si, Ca) and added (Li, B) internal standards (IS) have been used comparatively in LA-ICP AES of silicates and limestones to improve both precision and accuracy. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (355 nm, 10 Hz, 10 mJ per shot) has been applied for ablation, Samples have been prepared by fusion with Li2B4O7 and measured using a Perkin-Elmer Optima 3000 ICP system, Both types of IS have given a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 2-1%, which improved the repeatability by a factor of 2-10 and calibration graphs have been linear over the whole concentration range.
