Laser ablation in combination with an inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-TOFMS) is an upcoming method for rapid quantitative element mapping of various samples. While widespread in geological applications, quantification of elements in biotissues remains challenging. In this study, a proof-of-concept sample preparation method is presented in which plant-tissues are fossilized in order to solidify the complex biotissue matrix into a mineral-like matrix. This process enables quantification of elements by using silicone as an internal standard for normalization while also providing consistent ablation processes similar to minerals to reduce image blurring. Furthermore, it allows us to generate a quantitative image of the element composition at high spatial resolution. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated on leaves of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus), soy beans (Glycine max), and corn (Zea mays) as representatives for common crops, which were grown on both nonspiked and cadmium-spiked agricultural soil. The quantitative results achieved during imaging were validated with digestion of whole leaves followed by ICP-OES analysis. LA-ICP-TOFMS element mapping of conventionally dried samples can provide misleading trends due to the irregular ablation behavior of biotissue because high signals caused by high ablation rates are falsely interpreted as enrichment of elements. Fossilization provides the opportunity to correct such phenomena by standardization with Si as an internal standard. The method demonstrated here allows for quantitative image acquisition without time-consuming sample preparation steps by using comparatively safe chemicals. The diversity of tested samples suggests that this sample preparation method is well-suited to achieve reproducible and quantitative element maps of various plant samples.
