Advanced spectrometric techniques used in atomic, molecular and mass spectrometry are discussed including their principles and applications. This year following techniques will be covered:

Raman spectroscopy

Raman optical activity (ROA)

Raman microscopy

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD)

Single particle ICP-MS (sp-ICP-MS)

Speciation analysis by ICP-MS

Photoluminiscence

Laser ablation ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)

Electron microscopy (TEM, SEM)

X-ray microanalysis (EDS)

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) and secondary electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (SESI-MS)

Sample preparation (microwave induced combustion)

Analyte preconcentration strategies
