    Another manganese nodule Nano-Pellet and further sets

    We complement our existing manganese nodules Nano-Pellets NOD-A1-NP and NOD-P1-NP with another manganese nodules Nano-Pellet: FeMn-1-NP! Manganese nodules are of scientific as well as industrial interest due to their high content of critical metals.

    myStandards @ Goldschmidt Virtual 2020

    Instead of staying at Hawaii – we will present our latest research and development at the Goldschmidt Virtual 2020: the most important annual international conference on geochemistry and related topics organized by the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry. Although we were very much looking forward to going to Hawaii this year, we…

  • Visualisation of the matrix-effect

    Visualisation of the matrix-effect

    A brief excerpt of a LIBS-homogeneity test performed on our pellets used to illustrate the importance of matrix-matched reference materials. Using laser-scanning confocal microscopy we were able to highlight the differences regarding how different materials react to a laser-beam. Within the framework of a cooperation with Applied Photonics Ltd., UK (APL) a total of 13…

    Analysis of ablation behaviour with a laser confocal microscope

    Ablation-behaviour test of a magnetite nano-pellet using various crater sizes, number of pulses and fluences. Ablation-behaviour test of a magnetite nano-pellet using various crater sizes, number of pulses and fluences. It is apparent, that the surface is extraordinarily smooth and that the laser forms even craters as soon as fluence, number of pulses and spot-size…
