ICP-OES
Facility: |
ICP-OES |
Staff: |
Dr. Emma Tomlinson |
Technical Staff: |
Cora McKenna (lab. technician)
Gary O’Sullivan (research assistant) |
Location |
Unit 7, Trinity Technology And Enterprise Centre (TTEC), Pearce Street. |
Instrument: |
- Spectro Arcos OPI ICP-OES
- Axial View system designed for high sensitivity, coupled with a CCD optic system with a Paschen-Runge mount assembly allowing for a wavelength range coverage from 130 to 770 nm. Resolution is 8.5 picometer in the range of 130-340 nm and 15 picometer for higher wavelengths.
- Two modes of operation:
- Coupled with Teledyne Photon Machines 193nm UV laser for solid sampling (see in situ geochem)
- Coupled with Teledyne Cetac ASX-520 autosampler for solution analysis (e.g. bulk rock digestions or water samples)
|
Samples |
Suitable for both major element geochemistry (wt% major oxide determinations) and trace element analysis (ppm) of natural materials. |
Additional information: |
Supported by the General Laboratory for all sample preparation, including LiBO3 fusion and acid digestion. |
