Here, we aimed to develop an analytical method for direct quantitative determination of REE concentrations in REE-rich minerals via laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry（LA-ICP-MS）. The results show that the REE concentrations measured via LA-ICP-MS using NIST 610 as an extemal standard are in good agreement with reference values with relative percentage difference（Dr） mainly less than 15%. Overall, these results demonstrate that our proposed analytical method is robust and accurate for direct quantitative determination of REE concentrations in REE-rich minerals.展开更多
