The following techniques and instrument combinations are in use:
- ICP-AES: inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission
spectrometry
- GFAAS: graphite furnace - atomic absorption spectrometry
- ICP-MS: inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry
- Separation techniques: HPLC, PAGE, CE, IC
- Hyphenation of separation methods and specific atomic detection
Research areas:
- Multi element analysis by ICP-AES or GFAAS
- Analyses of trace and ultra trace elements in e.g.:
- Water systems o Rock samples
- Nutrition
- Biological samples
- Prosthetic materials
- Archeological materials (ceramics, bones, bronze)
- Textiles
- Speciation of metals in different matrices
- Gaseous sample introduction (hydride generation) in ICP-AES or GFAAS
- Hyphenation of separation methods and atomic specific detection
- Investigation of the effects of organic solvents in the Ar-plasma
Projects:
- Trace elements in prosthetic materials and tissues
- Untersuchungen von Metallelementen in menschlichen Organgeweben nach Implantation
von orthopädischen Metallimplantaten
- Spurenelementanalysen von Humanknochen aus dem Mittelalter
- Importance of trace elements for textile industry
