Abstract

This review focuses on characteristics of laser ablation and its application in geochemistry. The principle and instrumentation of laser ablation together with parameters that influence ablation process are presented. Possibilities of quantification and use of certified reference materials are explained on examples of analyses of geological samples. Further, various applications in geochemistry are described and limitations caused by fractionation are also shown.
