Abstract

This technique adds to the roster of instrumentation available for planetary missions by enabling elemental and isotopic analysis with orders of magnitude less power and plasma gas relative to commercial ICP-MS systems. This work paves the way for low resource LA-MIP-MS instruments as a viable technique to be applied to a wide range of applications for terrestrial and spaceflight chemical analysis of geologic materials.
