Location

Unit 7, Trinity Technology And Enterprise Centre (TTEC), Pearce Street.

Instrument:

• Thermo Scientific iCAP-Qc ICP-MS, equipped with either high matrix or high sensitivity inserts and optional collision cell.
• Sample introduced using a HEPA filter enclosed ESI SC2 DX autosampler and single syringe 2-valve microFAST system for precisely controlled sample uptake.

Samples

• Ultra-trace (sub ppb) geochemistry of digested bulk rock samples.
• Regularly used for the analysis of silicate, carbonate and water samples.
• Capable of ppt determinations of trace elements in waters.

Additional information:

Supported by the Ultra-clean Laboratory for all sample preparation.
