Nu Sapphire MC-ICP-MS

The Nu Sapphire multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) is capable of measuring the isotopic composition of a wide variety of elements (e.g., Li, Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo, Hg, U). The instrument is equipped with 16 Faraday detectors and a secondary electron multiplier (SEM) for quantification of small ion beams. The Sapphire has a collision-reaction cell where gases can be introduced to the ion flight path to remove interfering species, opening up several novel applications.
