Nanoparticles released from commercial ion exchange resins were analyzed by laser-induced breakdown detection (LIBD). It was shown that virgin resins release a considerable amount of nanoparticles which may harm sensitive production lines, if the resins are used without proper pretreatment. Particle release is reduced to below 1 ppb after regeneration and rinsing of the resins. However, the nanoparticle concentration can still be detected quantitatively by LIBD.
