LA-ICPMS Laboratory
The LA-ICPMS lab is a brand new facility located in Derring Hall. It features an Agilent 7500ce ICPMS coupled with a Geolas laser ablation system. Some of the key features of this system are:
- Major and trace element analysis with detection limits of < 1 µg/g for most elements
- 5 µm spatial resolution
- Homoginization optics for controlled ablation of solids/liquids (in fluid inclusions)
- An octopole reaction cell allowing for the analysis of Ca(40) and Fe(56) resulting in lower detection limits for both elements
- Sophisticated and easy to use (in-house) developed software for data reduction
