title: Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: a powerful tool for nanoanalysis.
abstract: Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is an emergent ICPMS method for detecting, characterizing, and quantifying nanoparticles. Although the number of applications reported to date is limited, the relatively simple instrumental requirements, the low number concentration detection levels attainable, and the possibility to detect both the presence of dissolved and particulate forms of an element make this methodology very promising in the nanoscience related areas.
