Short summary
We developed a new method for quantifying elemental concentrations in natural and synthetic fluid inclusions and gas bubbles using a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) method with no internal standard. The method may be applied to estimate trace (metal and metalloid) elemental concentrations in hydrous carbonic (C–O–H) fluid inclusions and bubbles with uncertainty below 25 %.
