Research Facility
The ICP-OES facility houses a Perkin-Elmer 5300 DV inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometer which can be used for rapid, simultaneous determination of metals and most other elements. With a Cetac ASX-520autosampler, the instrument can analyze 250 in sequence.
The facility is equipped to perform digestions of solid samples at no addition charge, if neccesary. Solution samples submitted should ideally be in 2% nitric or hydrochloric acid at a volume of 5 mL. Contact Adam Beaton for pricing.
