Pre-treated with concentrated hydrogen peroxide to remove organics and subsequently ultrasonically rinsed. 500 x 50 μm rectangular laser beam is scanned along the coral growth axis at 2 mm per min with first scan at at 5 Hz and then the second scan at 20 Hz pulse rate for different trace elements and isotopes. See Table 1 in Alibert et al. (2003) for standards measurements. In-house pressed-powder coral standard and NIST 614 glass standard. MnCa corrected against NIST 614 standard.
