- Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a sensitive optical technique capable of fast multielemental analysis proved to be a versatile tool in different applications. It became visible in the analytical atomic spectroscopy scene in the late 1980s and since then, its applications having been developed continuously in different field of science and technology including biomedical science. Here, we review the use and importance of LIBS for trace element determination in different calcified tissue materials. In this article, we have also reported a comprehensive review of the recent progress of biomedical applications of LIBS.
