Stanford ICP-MS Facility

High sensitivity and high precision measurement of elemental concentrations and non-traditional stable and radiogenic isotopes

Description: Under construction is a new ICP-MS laboratory that will feature two magnetic sector ICP-MS instruments, one single-collector and one multi-collector. One instrument will be optimized for high-sensitivity concentration work and the other for high-precision isotope work. In addition, we will be adding new clean lab space to the existing infrastructure to provide space for students and researchers who wish to use the ICP-MS facility.

Instruments: Coming soon.
