PerkinElmer Elan DRCII Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer

PerkinElmer Elan DRCII Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer

The Elan is an inductively coupled argon plasma mass spectrometer coupled to a quadrupole mass analyzer specifically designed for the fast and sensitive measurement of elements across the periodic table.

Clean Room

The laboratory features a clean room specifically designed to process and prepare samples with extremely low ambient amounts of trace metals.  In this space, minute quantities of materials are handled in a controlled environment featuring extensive use of non-metal materials in a HEPA-filtered room.
