The ThermoFisher Neptune<\/strong> is a large format, magnetic sector, multicollector ICP-MS best suited for high precision isotope ratio measurements.\u00a0 It is equipped with eight Faraday cups, eight continuous-dynode electron multipliers, (MIC – multiple ion counters) and a central SEM with RPQ for high abundance sensitivity.<\/p>\r\n

The ThermoFisher iCAP Qc<\/strong> is a quadrupole ICP-MS (installed in Nov. 2015).<\/p>\r\n

The Agilent 5900<\/strong> is an ICP-OES (installed in March 2022) that best suited to measure major and trace elements in a high total-dissolved solid (TDS) matrix. The synchronous dual view combines axial and radial optical beams to efficiently measure a wide range of elements. The advanced valve introduction system allows this ICP-ES to make measurements very rapidly.<\/p>\r\n

Solid Samples can be directly sampled and introduced into either the Neptune or the iCAP Qc using the Applied Spectra 193 nm eximer LASER <\/strong>ablation sampling device.\u00a0 This system is equipped with a large-format laser ablation cell. This cell can hold significantly more samples and standards than regular laser ablation cells.<\/p>\r\n

Aqueous solutions are sampled by a variety of nebulizers and spray chambers from <\/a>Elemental Scientific Inc. Desolvation of aqueous solutions improves sensitivity and decreases oxide and hydride interferneces. We use Apex, Apex-IR, Aridus1 and Aridus2 systems from <\/a>CETAC Technologies.<\/p>\r\n

Our lab also provides access to a HEPA-filtered exhaust hood, a Millipore water purification system (Elix10, Element) and analytical balances.<\/p>\r\n
