ICP and TIMS mass spectrometry
Our mass spectrometry laboratories are equipped with a comprehensive array of analytical instruments.
In 2013, three new Multi-Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometers (MC-ICP-MS) were installed: a Nu Instruments Nu Plasma II and two Thermo Scientific Neptune Plus instruments. Moreover, a Thermo Scientific Element XR, a single collector, high resolution, magnetic sector ICP-MS instrument was acquired. In 2017, an Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (group of Professor Heather Stoll ) was added, followed by a Neoma MS/MS in 2026.
Each instrument is supported by a wide array of sample introduction systems, including a number of desolvating and conventional wet plasma systems. In addition, an Australian Scientific Instruments RESOlution SE excimer ArF laser (193 nm) laser is available and can be coupled to any of the ICP-MS instruments.
Separate laboratories house a Thermo Scientific Triton thermal ionisation mass spectrometer (TIMS), a Perkin Elmer Elan DRC-e ICP quadrupole mass spectrometer, and a Thermo Scientific TritonPlus TIMS (operated by the group of Professor Cyril Chelle-Michou).
