We report on a measurement of the flavor-specific ${B}_{s}^{0}$ lifetime and of the ${D}_{s}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ lifetime using proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to $3.0\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of integrated luminosity. Approximately 407 000 ${B}_{s}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{D}_{s}^{(*)\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ decays are partially reconstructed in the โ€ฆ
