The ElMiE Lab is a research-oriented facility and part of the Helmholtz center in Potsdam. The ElMiE – Lab offers the sample preparation and analyses of geological or environmental inorganic samples for element concentrations and mineralogy of inorganic materials. Laboratories and instruments associated with the ElMiE Lab include the XRD, XRF, …

The Thermo Scientific Element 2 is a highly sensitive, high-resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Perform accurate and reliable quantitative multi-element analyses at trace level, with the highest sensitivity and without complicated sample preparation. Three different resolutions provide a wide range of analytes. The Element 2 system covers the mg/L to sub pg/L concentration range. In our laboratory, the instrument is exclusively used to analyse very …

To analyse element concentrations in a wide range of materials two Q-ICP-MS (iCAP Q by Thermo) are available. Samples can be analyses as solutions (e.g. water samples or rocks after acid-dissolution). Alternatively, a femtosecond laser ablation system can be coupled to the Q-ICP-MS for (in situ) micro-scale concentration analysis of solid samples.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a versatile method for fast …

ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) or plasma source mass spectrometry represents the most sensitive and flexible method for the analysis of mass fractions of trace elements in geomaterials (rocks, minerals, water) and in chemical or technical products. The advantage of the method lies in the nearly complete ionization of many elements, which is achieved by using argon plasma at temperatures of up to 7000 °C and fast data acquisition. The Thermo Electron Element XR in the AB …

The ELEMENT 2XR is a high-resolution sector field mass spectrometer (HR-ICP-MS) with inductively coupled plasma as an ion source. It is used for the quantitative analysis of element concentrations or isotope ratios. It offers excellent results even for complex problems and demanding samples. The Elements 2XR combines a configuration that is primarily characterized by the following features:

• Faraday detector and an SEV detector (secondary electron multiplier), thereby extending the dynamic …
