Budapest, Prof. Zaray, Dr. Mihucz Motivation: Arsenic is contained in groundwater in Eastern Hungary (up to 2µmol). Speciation of As in xylem is important to: • understand how plants metabolise and transform As Xylem • assess the health risk caused by As entering the food chain (different As species have different toxicity; e.g. As(III) and As(V) ) Experimental: •At two leaf stage: transferred in solution with arsenic compounds and reduced phosphate concentration Source: www.fairchildgarden.org • After 30 days from germination (17 d arsenic): - stem cut 2 mm above root neck - sap collected with micropipettes for 1 hour into PE vials immersed in ice salt bath Seite 16 8 Speciation of arsenic in xylem of plants L Advantages of XAS in TXRF geometry: • TXRF offers good sensitivity for XANES speciation of traces (ppb range) • only small sample volumes are required • simple sample preparation (just pipetting some µl on reflectors) prevents unwanted oxidation of sample during preparation Seite 17 Speciation of arsenic in xylem of plants L Results: • Speciation of As was possible down to the 30ppb level • As(III) in nutrient solutions oxidises easily to As(V) • Cucumber roots convert As(V) to As(III) • Best poster award, Denver X-Ray Conference 2006 • F.

Hamburg, Prof. Broekaert, Dr. Ulla Fittschen L Motivation: To understand the effect of aerosols on global climate a detailed understanding of sources, transport, fate and the physical and chemical properties of atmospheric particles is necessary. The chemical speciation of the elements is of relevance for the environmental impact.

Metallic contamination have negative effects on gate oxide properties, resulting in quantifiable yield losses. Limit of total surface contamination : 5E9 atoms/cm2 Wafer surface analysis is the main application of TXRF worldwide! Seite 23 Accreditation for wafer surface analysis with TXRF Mission The main interest of the Atominstitut is focused on research and education of students. The “know-how”, as it will be gained during the accreditation process, as well as the maintenance phase of the achieved levels is of interest for the TU Wien. Within the EC project ANNA the Atominstitut has to present several deliverables. One is to contribute to the milestone “Accredited reference laboratories named ‘golden lab’ ”: European researchers and industrial users require comparable results, when analytical methodologies are supplied by different research installations. Moreover, industrial partners and suppliers are usually certified. Therefore the research institutes supplying services and research to industry are requested to apply for quality accreditation in order to support the industrial certification. The aim is to establish reference laboratories inside the ANNA network per analytical technique families which will be certified according to quality standards. 24 12 Pyramid-like Document structure Quality manual Process descriptions Manuals, Standard Operating Procedures accreditation according to ISO 17025 25 26 13 Validation: SRM from NIST NIST 1643e ( trace elements in water) 27 Seite 28 14 Gunshot residue investigation ( Schmauchspur Untersuchung) Cooperation with Landeskriminalamt Wien Aim: investigation of gun shot residue in 3 m distance Local distribution of gun shot residue Seite 29 Schussanordnung und Waffenkonfiguration Makarov (9mm), Munition MAK Sellier & Bellot (6,2g) (1997) Glock 17 (9mm), Vollmantelmunition Geco (8g) R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 15 Spektrum der Schmauchspuren der beiden Waffen Spektrum Vergleich Zoom Makarov Glock 50000 Pb-M 45000 40000 2 Pb-L 35000 30000 Counts Mo-Scatter 25000 Si 20000 Pb-L 15000 Cu 10000 Pb-L 2 Ba 5000 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Energie [keV] „Fingerprint“ Fingerprint Makarov Glock 250000 200000 Counts 150000 100000 50000 0 Al-Ka Cl-Ka K-Ka Ca-Ka Ti-Ka Cr-Ka Fe-Ka Ni-Ka Cu-Ka Zn-Ka Cd-La Sn-La Sb-La Ba-La Elemente ohne Pb 16 EDXRF Standard XRF Lab: • Chem.
