Our
laboratory uses a Finnigan MAT Element High Resolution ICP-MS,which
combines the strengths of two established technologies: the
ion source (or ICP), a well proven analytical source which operates
at temperatures in excess of 8000 K and a double focusing magnetic
sector mass spectrometer used as a detector to separate the
elements and their isotopes for subsequent detection and measurement.
Resolutions of 380,4800,and 10,500 amu are attainable,compared
to only about 300 amu with Low Resolution Instruments.
