Device Description
Element XR is a double-focusing single-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (SF-ICP-MS).
Device Application
The Element XR ICP-MS is a sophisticated analytical instrument used in research for the precise measurement of elements, particularly in difficult sample matrices and at extremely low concentrations. It is suitable for the analysis of isotopic compositions and trace and ultra-trace analyses of elements in rocks, minerals, and other geological samples. In Frankfurt, it is primarily used for spatially resolved in situ U-Pb age dating of a wide variety of minerals.
