ICP Facility - Instrumentation

The abbreviation ICP stands for “Inductively Coupled Plasma.” The ICP facility is equipped with five ICP instruments. We operate a multi-collector ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS, Nu Plasma II), two high-resolution ICP-MS (HR-ICP-MS, Thermo Element XR, Nu AttoM), an ICP-OES (Thermo iCAP 7000), and a TOF-ICP-MS (Nu Vitesse). In addition, there are numerous peripheral devices in various configurations for a wide range of analytical methods.
