Modular Ceramic-Polymeric Device for Analysis of Selected Elements in Liquid Using Microplasma

Miniaturization of devices for analysis of chemical composition is being still developed. In this article we present a portable device with a microplasma excitation source. The microdischarge is ignited inside a ceramic structure between a solid anode and a liquid cathode. As a result of cathode spu...
