Internal standard evaluation for bioimaging soybean leaves through laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: a plant nanotechnology approach

Abstract

This work evaluates the use of an internal standard for acquiring the elemental mapping of ¹⁰⁷Ag, ⁵⁵Mn and ⁶³Cu using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in the imaging mode from soybean leaves cultivated in the absence or in the presence of silver nanoparticles (40 nm average size) and also using silver nitrate for comparative purposes.
