The brief

The University of Southampton was looking to purchase a Laser Ablation Micro-Sampling System for connection to various ICP-MS instruments for the purpose of carrying out spatially resolved elemental and isotopic measurements in a wide range of earth, anthropogenic and biological materials.

We have a particular interest in fast imaging/mapping applications.

The supplied laser ablation micro-sampling system will be coupled to a range of mass spectrometers in our Research Facility including a Nu Instruments Vitesse TOF-ICP-MS, a Thermo Scientific Neoma MS/MS-MC-ICP-MS, a Thermo Scientific Neptune MC-ICP-MS, Thermo Scientific Element XR HR-ICP-MS, Agilent 8900 QQQ-ICP-MS and a Thermo Scientific X-Series ICP-MS.

The laser ablation system will be used principally for fast mapping/imaging applications in conjunction with our Thermo Scientific Neoma MS/MS-MC-ICP-MS and Nu Vitesse TOF-ICP-MS.

As such, it must be capable of achieving repetition rates of up to 1KHz with fast sample transport/washout.

It is anticipated that the system will also be used for more conventional 'analytical-type' analyses on all of our ICP-MS instruments.

The supplied system must seamlessly integrate with the hardware and software of our ICP-MS instruments to permit fully programmed/automated analyses.

The laser within the system must be capable of coupling with a wide range of materials in a range of formats.
