Abstract
A laser ablation system includes a sample chamberconfigured to accommodate a targetwithin an interiorthereof, a sample generatorconfigured to remove a portion of the target(which may be subsequently captured as a sample) and an analysis systemconfigured to analyze a composition of the sample. A sample capture cell in the chamber proximate to the target has a capture cavity configured to receive target material, a first inlet configured to transmit a flow of a carrier gas from a first location adjacent to an exterior of the capture cell into a region of the capture cavity; and an outlet configured to receive carrier gas from another region of the capture cavity. The sample chamberincludes an injection nozzleconfigured to introduce, into the interior, a fluid such as a carrier gas.
