Abstract

LIBS as a versatile analytical technique can excel as a fast metod for monitoring of the cultivation process and for classification of various algae species on the base of their elemental composition/distribution (chemical fingerprint). Here we desribe the utilization of double pulse LIBS in orthogonal configuration for analysis of algal biofilms. The detection, mapping and quantification of selected macro- and micro-elements (such as Na, K, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn, Ca etc.) within algal biofilms are detailed.

Abstract (in Czech)

LIBS jako všestranná analytická technika může být vynikající jako rychlá metoda pro monitoring kutivačního procesu a klasifikaci různých druhů řas na základě prvkového složení/distribuci (chemický otisk palce). Je ukázáno použití dvoupulzního orthogonálního uspořádání LIBS pro analýzu biofilmu tvořeného z řas. Důraz je kladen na detekci, mapování a kvantifikaci vybraných makro- a mikro- prvků (jako Na, K, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn, Ca atd.).
