Abstract

Float glass is a common type of evidence collected from the scenes of crimes. The usefulness of such evidence lies in the ability to associate the glass from the scene to the original source. The multielement capability and the sensitivity of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) provide excellent discrimination power. The sources of variability in ICP-MS of glass analysis are investigated to determine possible sources of variation. The sources of variation examined include errors due to sample preparation, instrument accuracy and precision, and interlaboratory reproducibility.
