ABSTRACTSeveral kinds of zeolites, crystal-SiO2 (α-quartz), arnorphous-SiO2 (quartz glass and ultrafine particles) and α-Al2O3, were ablated by an Nd:YAG laser. Generated positive ions from the targets were measured by TOF-MS (time-of-flight mass spectrometry). In the TOF mass spectra of ablated zeolites, TOx (x=0–2, T = tetrahedral atom, e.g., Si, Al), T2Ox (x=1) and T3Ox (x=4,5) were observed up to m/z=170 (m = mass, z = plus charge of clusters). In the spectra due to the oc-quartz, quartz glass and an α-Al2O3 plate, smaller species, T+, TO+ and TO2+, were mainly detected. These results demonstrate that the clusters from zeolites reflect the characters of the mother structure.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was investigated as a method for the rapid identification of yeast cells. Following pretreatment of yeast samples with a cell wall digesting enzyme (lyticase), distinct and reproducible mass spectra over them/zrange 2,000 to 16,000 were obtained by MALDI-TOF-MS. Using an optimised procedure, characteristic mass spectra that distinguished between Candida spp. and between strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were produced. The approach offers the potential for rapid differentiation of yeasts in clinical diagnosis and in the fermentation industries.

In this paper, we have addressed the phytoremediation, the ability to absorb heavy metals, of the Euphorbia indica plant by detecting heavy metals in its roots, stem and leaves using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LA-TOF-MS).
