AB  - Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a 
      frequently used microanalytical technique in elemental analysis of solid samples. 
      In most instances the use of matrix-matched calibration standards is necessary 
      for the accurate determination of elemental concentrations. However, the main 
      drawback of this approach is the limited availability of certified reference 
      materials. Here, we present a novel conceptual framework in LA-ICP-MS 
      quantification without the use of matrix-matched calibration standards but 
      instead employment of an ablation volume-normalization method (via measurement of 
      post-ablation line scan volumes by optical profilometry) in combination with a 
      matrix-adapted fluence (slightly above the ablation threshold). This method was 
      validated by cross-matrix quantification of reference materials typically 
      investigated by LA-ICP-MS, including geological and biological materials. This 
      allows for more accurate and precise multi-element quantification, and enables 
      quantification of previously unquantifiable elements/materials.
