    Abstract

    Trace analysis (at fg-level) of radioisotopes requires a considerable push in analytical technology. Among most sensitive are a Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Fluorescence (TRLIF) and Chemiluminescence (TRLIC) methods for detection of elemental compositions and valence states and a Resonance Ionisation Spectroscopy (RIS) in combination with mass spectrometry for isotope composition determination. The radioisotopes of interest in environmental radiochemistry and planetary science and their analysis using TRLIF/TRLIC/RIS are discussed. The aspects of the development of the new technology implementing these methods are also described.
