Main Campus Laboratory


MC-MICAP-MS

Our MC-MICAP-MS consists of a ThermoFisher Neptune mass spectrometer coupled to the nitrogen-based microwave inductively coupled atmospheric plasma (MICAP) ion source by RADOM Inc. The instrument features a magnetic sector mass analyzer with nine Faraday cups arranged along the focal plane. Read more about MC-MICAP-MS here.

ThermoFisher Triton Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer

The Triton is a multiple collector mass spectrometer that produces ions from a heated filament in the ion source.

Clean Room

The laboratory features a clean room specifically designed to process and prepare samples with extremely low ambient amounts of trace metals.  In this space, minute quantities of materials are handled in a controlled environment featuring extensive use of non-metal materials in a HEPA-filtered room.
