Abstract
This article describes the development and subsequent application of a computer aided method, based on the “library search” strategy, for the interpretation of laser microprobe mass analysis (LAMMA) spectra. Such a routine is essential whenever huge amounts of spectra are needed to obtain relevant results, as e.g. in environmental research. The main handicap for a straightforward automation is the poor reproducibility of the analytical technique.
