Instrument: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer
An ICP Mass Spec is an instrument that passes nebulized samples into an inductively-coupled gas plasma (8-10000 K) where they are atomized and ionized. Ions of specific mass-to-charge ratios are quantified in a quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Mn concentrations were determined on a Thermoquest Finnigan Element 2 double focusing, single collector, magnetic sector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) at the SIO unified laboratory analytical facility.
