In elementR: An Framework for Reducing Elemental LAICPMS Data from Solid Structures

Description

Aims to facilitate the reduction of elemental microchemistry data from solid-phase LA-ICPMS analysis (laser ablation inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry). The elementR package provides a reactive and user friendly interface for conducting all steps needed for an optimal data reduction while leaving maximum control for user.
