The application of laser induced breakdown spectrometry for the quantitative determination of gold and silver in Au-Ag-Cu alloys is proposed. Laser induced plasma emission spectra in the ultraviolet region were studied in order to characterize the spectral information from time-integrated data. The multivariate calibration method known as partial least squares regression type 1 was used for calibration and prediction purposes. Satisfactory results were obtained for the determination of gold and silver without temporal resolution strategies. Since the employment of this chemometric algorithm was a good alternative for simplification of the experimental setup, a rapid, simple and low cost method is thus proposed for the determination of noble metals in jewelry pieces.
