Infrastructure Details
Acronym
LUCIA
Description
LA-ICP-MS is a powerful method for element analysis in a wide variety of solid materials (i.e. minerals, bone & teeth materials, wood, ceramics, etc.) at spatial resolutions from a few up to several hundred µm. Quantitative analyses can be obtained for most elements in the mass range 5-250 amu (practically 7Li to 238U).
Equipment and resources
The laboratory is equipped with two ICP-MS instruments: a Bruker Aurora Elite and an Agilent 8900. These ICP-MS instruments are connected to a 193 nm Cetac Analyte G2 excimer laser, installed with a two volume HelEx2 sample cell. Sample introduction to the ICP-MS system is setup for both liquid samples by nebulizer and solid material by laser ablation.
Services provided
1. Age dating of uranium rich accessory phases, e.g. zircon, monazite, baddeleyite.
2. Trace element analyses of silicate, oxide, and sulfide minerals.
3. Trace element analyses of calcium carbonate, e.g. shells, bones.
4. 2D trace element mapping of carbonate and silicate matrixes.
5. Element- and isotope analysis of micro-phases pre-examined by the FEG-SEM at the Department of Geology (another infrastructure funded facility)
