ICP-MS Core Facility
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is an analytical technique that is used across the earth, environmental, and planetary sciences, and beyond. The UT ICP-MS Core Facility currently includes a ThermoFisher iCAP TQ ICP-MS and an ESL NWR193nm excimer laser ablation system. This Core Facility provides elemental abundance measurements for both UT-affiliated and external users, covering nearly all non-volatile elements in a wide variety of natural and synthetic samples, ranging from water/ice, soils to silicate rocks. A Neoma MC-ICP-MS will be added to this Core Facility.
Lab Equipment
ICP-MS core facility at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, includes a ThermoFisher Scientific iCAP TQ ICP-MS and an ESL NWR193 laser ablation unit. A ThermoFisher Scientific Neoma MC-ICP-MS will be installed soon.
