LA-ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometer)

The Department has recently taken delivery of a ThermoScientific ICAP-Qc quadrupole ICP mass spectrometer, for high-sensitivity measurement of trace elements and isotope ratios in solutions and via laser ablation. The ICAP-Qc is linked to a New Wave Research-ESI 213 nm laser unit fitted with a two-volume ablation cell for in situ analysis of a range of geological, engineering and archaeological materials.
