Table 2 Correlation coefficients (R2) and slopes [counts s-1 (μg g-1)-1] of the calibration functions obtained for linear regression analysis of LA-ICP-MS data for pressed concretion tablets (n = 7). 'Min' and 'max' indicate the range of found concentrations (μg g-1) present in the standards as determined by SN-ICP-MS following acid digestion [9]

From: High spatial resolution analysis of ferromanganese concretions by LA-ICP-MS†
