The Tampa Bay Plasma Facility is a multi-group core analytical facility comprised of three inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometers and associated preparative and sample-handling equipment.  The instruments are used for a variety of CMS, School of Geosciences and 国产短视频research: Trace metal geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, paleoceanography, geochemistry, radiometric dating, archeometry/anthropology and forensic science.

Facility Instrumentation

  • Thermo Element XR sector field high-resolution ICPMS with high dynamic extended range (fg/g to ug/g in solution mode), Jet interface for added sensitivity,  and an ESI SC-4DX autosampler.
  • Thermo Neptune Plus multicollector-ICPMS with Apex-Q and Apex-Omega introduction systems, Jet interface for added sensitivity, and an ESI Microfast SC2DX autosampler with injection loops.
  • Agilent 7500cx ICPMS with ASX-500 autosampler and Photon Machines Analyte 193 laser ablation system.
