Infrastructure belongs to:
The Thermo Scientific Element 2 is a highly sensitive, high-resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Perform accurate and reliable quantitative multi-element analyses at trace level, with the highest sensitivity and without complicated sample preparation. Three different resolutions provide a wide range of analytes. The Element 2 system covers the mg/L to sub pg/L concentration range.
In our laboratory, the instrument is exclusively used to analyse very low-concentrated analytes in solution. A typical example is the direct measurement of ⁹Be in river water, suspended river sediment and time series analysis of Phosphorus fluxes in the “Convent Forest” and “Bavarian Forest”. The integrated auto sample can be loaded with more than 240 samples for continuous measurement.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is one of the fastest growing inorganic analytical technologies of the 21st Century. Newly developed Time of Flight instrumentation is augmenting more traditional quadruple and magnetic sector based instrumentation. Laser ablation, graphite furnace, liquid and gas chromatographic interfacing has facilitated the analysis of a significantly increased variety of sample types, enabling the determination of up to sixty elements in samples as small as 10 micro-meters in diameter and improved the resolution and detection limits of organo-metallic species analysis in such matrices as foodstuffs, water, sediment and environmental samples.
