Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

The Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) machine is a cutting-edge analytical tool designed for the precise detection and quantification of trace elements in various samples. This advanced technology utilizes an inductively coupled plasma to ionize the sample, producing atomic and small polyatomic ions for analysis. The ICP-MS lab at UOS plays a crucial role in supporting research across disciplines such as environmental science, geology, and biochemistry, allowing students and faculty to conduct high-sensitivity analyses of metals and isotopes in environmental, biological, and industrial materials. By leveraging the capabilities of this sophisticated instrument, researchers at UOS can enhance their studies on elemental composition and contribute valuable insights into various scientific fields.
