This page introduces our major equipment. The content will be updated gradually.
The routine analyses of the ICPMS Lab are as follows.
Q-ICP-MS, Agilent 7700
Whole rock trace element analysis by acid digestion and alkali fusion
Trace element analysis of water and hot water
MC-ICP-MS, Nu Plasma II
Various isotope ratio analyses (Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf, Ag)
LA-ICP-MS (Q-ICP-MS or MC-ICP-MS)
Trace element analysis of silicate minerals (including zircon) and colored glass
Hf isotope analysis of zircon
U-Pb dating of minerals: We target zircon, carbonates, garnet, cassiterite, apatite, and hematite for U-Pb dating as of November 2024 and plan more minerals in the future.
