The marine aspect of the research concerns the study (quantification, characterisation, isotopic analysis) of components in the marine environment.\r\n\r\nA first type of application, is high-precision isotopic analysis of target elements using multi-collector ICP-mass spectrometry, e.g. (i) isotopic analysis of mercury for assessing pollution around a WWII submarine wreck, for distinguishing between several sources of Hg pollution in sediments or biota, or for unraveling the Hg metabolism in marine mammals or (ii) isotopic analysis of Chlorine and Bromine in seawater for studying sea ice formation.\r\n\r\nA second application is elemental mapping for documenting the distribution of elements in a sample in 2 (and sometimes even 3 dimensions) in a quantitative way using laser ablation – ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS). In the context of the marine sciences, biomineral samples, such as bivalve and oyster shells, fish otoliths, foraminifera, etc. can be analysed.\r\n\r\nA third application is single-cell ICP-MS, allowing to quantify elemental contents in individual cells, thus not only generating an average or median value (based on a large population of cells), but also the spread in target element content. This approach can tackle all types of cells, of bacterial, plant or animal origin.\r\n","AbstractOtherLang":"De afdeling Atoom- en Massaspectrometrische Analysemethoden (A&MS) is gespecialiseerd in de ontwikkeling van methoden voor de bepaling, elementaire speciatie en isotopische analyse van (sporen)metalen en metalloïden via inductief gekoppeld plasma-massaspectrometrie (ICP-MS) en de toepassing van deze methoden in interdisciplinaire verbanden. Het mariene aspect van het onderzoek betreft de studie (kwantificering, karakterisering, isotopische analyse) van componenten in het mariene milieu.\r\n\r\nEen eerste type toepassing is isotopische analyse met hoge precisie van doelelementen met behulp van multi-collector ICP-massaspectrometrie, bijvoorbeeld (i) de isotopische analyse van kwik voor het beoordelen van de verontreiniging rond een onderzeebootwrak uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog, voor het onderscheiden van verschillende bronnen van Hg-verontreiniging in sedimenten of biota, voor het ontrafelen van het Hg-metabolisme in zeezoogdieren of (ii) de isotopische analyse van chloor en broom in zeewater voor het bestuderen van de vorming van zee-ijs.\r\n\r\nEen tweede toepassing is elementaire kartering om de verdeling van elementen in een monster in twee (en soms zelfs drie) dimensies op kwantitatieve wijze te documenteren met behulp van laserablatie - ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS). In de context van de mariene wetenschappen kunnen biominerale stalen worden geanalyseerd, zoals schelpen van tweekleppigen en oesters, otolieten van vissen, foraminifera, etc.\r\n\r\nEen derde toepassing is ICP-MS voor afzonderlijke cellen, waarmee de elementgehalten in afzonderlijke cellen kunnen worden gekwantificeerd, zodat niet alleen een gemiddelde of mediaanwaarde wordt verkregen (gebaseerd op een grote populatie cellen), maar ook de spreiding in het streefelementgehalte. Deze aanpak is geschikt voor alle soorten cellen, van bacteriële, plantaardige of dierlijke oorsprong.","AbstractLangCode":"nl","AbstractLangID":41,"AbstractLang":"Dutch","AbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","SuccessorOfInsID":null,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-06-04 01:34:19.073000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"PrevIns":null,"PrevAcro":null,"PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ParID":471,"InstituteType":"Scientific","EnvName":"Belgium","ISO3166":"BE","LevelName":null,"ND":"2003-11-26","UD":"2018-07-02","EncAddress":", Krijgslaan 281, S12, 9000 Gent, Belgium"},"parent":{"PublicFlag":1,"InsID":421,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullStandardName":"Universiteit Gent; Faculteit Wetenschappen; Vakgroep Chemie","FullOrigName":"Ghent University; Faculty of Sciences; Department of Chemistry","Acronym":"UGent"},"institutes":null,"references":[{"BRefID":438312,"RR":"<b>Vandermeiren, M.; Abou-Zeid, L.; Braeuer, S.; Vanhaecke, F.</b> (2026).
