Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry of ions released from the coating into LB and DMEM medium

several coatings from the ternary alloy of Zr-Cu-Ag metallic glasses (fabricated by PVD magnetron co-sputtering) were tested by the mass spectroscopy to evaluate their ion release in LB and DMEM. LB is the common medium for bacterial culture while DMEM is common for cells. coated samples have the name SP in them, while the non-coated one is PBT. They were in orbital shaker at 37˚C, 120 rpm for 1 day, 3 days and 7 days.
