In order to propose an optimal analytical procedure specific to ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) oxides, we investigated different modes of data acquisition using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results of trace element and Rare Earth Element (REE) determination in eight Fe-Mn nodules and crusts (FeMn-1, GSMC-1, GSMC-2, GSMC-3, GSPN-2, GSPN-3, NOD-A-1 and NOD-P-1) are presented here. The analytical procedure involves chemical dissolution of the Fe-Mn oxides and addition of a thulium (Tm) spike.

- Standard operating rooms (SOR) are often thought to be the safest for tissue procurement, but using non-operating dedicated rooms (NODR) or even ICU might be more efficient and less costly when no organ retrieval occurs.
- The study analyzed tissue retrieval data from 2,535 deceased donors to assess the risk of microbial contamination based on different locations (ICU, SOR, NODR).
- Results indicated that retrieval in NODR had a significantly lower risk of contamination, suggesting that using dedicated rooms or ICU for tissue procurement could reduce contamination rates and might eliminate the need to transfer patients from ICU to SOR.
