A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Laser-induced plasma tomography by the Radon transform N2 - The Radon transform is tested as a method for reconstruction of the emissivity distribution of asymmetric laser induced plasmas. Two types of experiments were carried out. First, the plasma asymmetry is introduced via focusing the laser by a cylindrical lens to create plasma plumes elongated along the symmetry axis of the lens. Second, an asymmetric power distribution across the laser beam is created by reflecting the latter from a damaged mirror. Various effects on the quality of the plasma emissivity reconstructed by the Radon tomography method are investigated. The understanding of these effects appears to be essential to design a proper experimental setup to study LIBS plasmas by the Radon tomography method. It is demonstrated that the Radon tomography can successfully be used for experimental studies of asymmetric LIBS plasmas.

Its capabilities as a process analytical technique for the recovery of metals from molten inorganic wastes are investigated. Using low-melting glass doped with different amounts of additives as a model system for recycling slags, the optimum number of shots, laser inter-pulse and acquisition delay times are optimized for solid and liquid (1200 °C) glass. Limits of detection from 7 ppm (Mn) to 194 ppm (Zn) are achieved working at a distance of 75 cm from the sample. To simplify the quantification of molten samples in an industrial furnace, the possibility is examined of using solid standards for analysis of molten material.

T1 - Elemental bioimaging in kidney by LA-ICP-MS as a tool to study nephrotoxicity and renal protective strategies in cisplatin therapies N2 - A laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS)-based methodology is presented for Pt, Cu, and Zn bioimaging on whole kidney 3 µm sagittal sections from rats treated with pharmacological doses of cisplatin, which were sacrificed once renal damage had taken place. Pt turned out to accumulate in the kidney cortex and corticomedullary junction, corresponding to areas where the proximal tubule S3 segments (the most sensitive cells to cisplatin nephrotoxicity) are located. This demonstrates the connection between platinum accumulation and renal damage proved by histological examination of HE-stained sections and evaluation of serum and urine biochemical parameters. Cu and Zn distribution maps revealed a significant displacement in cells by Pt, as compared to control tissues. A dramatic decrease in the Pt accumulation in the cortex was observed when cilastatin was coadministered with cisplatin, which can be related to its nephroprotective effect. Excellent imaging reproducibility, sensitivity (LOD 50 fg), and resolution (down to 8 µm) were achieved, demonstrating that LA–ICP–MS can be applied as a microscopic metal detector at cellular level in certain tissues. A simple and quick approach for the estimation of Pt tissue levels was proposed, based on tissue spiking.

Up to 20 tumor markers are routinely evaluated for one patient, and thus, a common analysis results in a series of time consuming staining procedures. As an alternative, we used lanthanides for labeling of primary antibodies, which are applied in IHC. Laser ablation (LA) ICPMS was elaborated as a detection tool for multiplexed IHC of tissue sections. In this study, we optimized sample preparation steps and LA ICPMS parameters to achieve a sufficient signal-to-background ratio. The results prove the high selectivity of applied antibodies, which was sustained after labeling. Up to three tumor markers (Her 2, CK 7, and MUC 1) were detected simultaneously in a single multiplex analysis of a 5 µm thin breast cancer tissue at a laser spot size of 200 µm. Furthermore, the LA ICPMS results indicate a significantly higher expression level of MUC 1 compared to Her 2 and CK 7, which was not obvious from the conventionally stained tissue sections.

A1 - Panne, Ulrich A1 - Jakubowski, Norbert T1 - Iodine as an elemental marker for imaging of single cells and tissue sections by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry N2 - A new laser ablation (LA)-ICP-MS method for single cell and cell nucleus imaging was developed. Therein, iodine was employed as an elemental dye for fibroblast cells and for thin tissue sections. At an incubation time of 60 s, iodine is located mainly within the cell nuclei. This effect was illustrated in fibroblast cells, and iodine signal within the cell nucleus was as high as 5 × 104 cps at 4 µm laser spot size. The surrounding cytoplasm was iodinated as well, but to a lesser extent. The spatial resolution attained was sufficient to detect even smaller cell nuclei within a liver biopsy tissue. Furthermore, iodine was successfully employed for biomolecule labeling and we demonstrated that iodine signal increased with increasing thickness of a palatine tonsil tissue. Thus, the use of iodine as an internal standard to correct for tissue inhomogeneities in LA-ICP-MS was investigated for the simultaneous detection of two tumor markers (Her 2 and CK 7) in breast cancer tissue. Additionally, lanthanide background resulting from glass ablation can be corrected for by Eu standardization.

During these events, possibly harmful and toxic aerosol emissions were measured. Aerosols in the size range from 30 to 450 nm were detected. The maxima in the observed particle size distribution were between 80 and 175 nm, and the highest value determined was ~1.3 · 106 particles per cm³, while the highest mass concentration was approximately 1.8 mg m–3. The time-averaged particle mass concentration did, however, not exceed 0.7 mg m–3 (over 15 min).

A1 - Matschat, Ralf A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Calibration of double focusing glow discharge mass spectrometry instruments with pin-shaped synthetic standards N2 - Calibration of two commercially available glow discharge double focusing mass spectrometers, the VG 9000 and Element GD, is described using synthetic pin standards pressed from solution doped copper and zinc matrices. A special pressing die was developed for this purpose and optimal results were obtained with the highest possible pressures, i.e., 95 kN·cm- 2. This calibration approach permits the determination of trace element mass fractions down to µg·kg- 1 with small uncertainties and additionally provides traceability of the GD-MS results in the most direct manner to the SI (International System of Units). Results were validated by concurrent measurements of a number of compact copper and zinc certified reference materials. The impact of the sample pin cross-section (circular or square) was investigated with the use of a new pin-sample holder system for the Element GD. The pin-sample holder was designed by the manufacturer for pin-samples having circular cross-section; however, samples with square pin cross-section were also shown to provide acceptable results. Relative Sensitivity Factors for some 50 analytes in copper (VG 9000, Element GD) and zinc matrices (VG 9000) are presented. The field of applicability of GD-MS may be considerably extended via analysis of pin geometry samples based on their ease of preparation, especially with respect to the accuracy and traceability of the results and the enhanced number of analytes which can be reliably calibrated using such samples.

A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Abel inversion applied to a transient laser induced plasma: implications from plasma modeling N2 - We test the effects of non-uniformity, non-transparency, and non-stationarity of a laser-induced plasma on the results obtained by the Abel inversion method. The method is commonly used for obtaining spatially resolved emissivity of axially symmetric non-homogeneous radiating objects. Besides the axial symmetry, the plasma is assumed to be optically thin. As the method addresses a certain plasma state, the plasma is required to be stationary during measurements. It is difficult to satisfy the aforementioned conditions for transient laser induced plasmas. As such the plasmas are not stationary; they have steep gradients of thermodynamic parameters that rapidly vary during the plasma evolution. Therefore, any conclusion based on time-integrated measurements and the corresponding data processing should account for these effects. In this work, we use the collision-dominated plasma model to generate time- and spatially resolved synthetic spectra. The spectra are processed by executing the Abel inversion using two numerical algorithms. Thus obtained spatially resolved plasma parameters (emissivity, temperature, and number density) are compared with the exact parameters used to set up the model. In doing so, the accuracy of the Abel inversion method is assessed. Special attention is paid to the dynamic aspect of the expanding plasma and possible errors which result from time-integrated measurements.
