The behaviour of rare earth elements (REEs) ions within a dynamic reaction cell (DRC) pressurized with oxygen was investigated, in order to explore their determination at m/z +16 by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Under the optimized conditions, the conversion of REEs to molec...
