Performance, Reliability, Design
The Nu Plasma 1700 is a unique High Resolution Multi Collector ICP-MS from Nu Instruments providing the ultimate in high resolution isotope ratio measurements. The instrument has been designed with a high dispersion and large geometry to provide a no compromise high resolution capability whilst still maintaining flat top peaks for high precision measurements with minimal loss in sensitivity.
- The design uses a single 750-mm radius, 70-degree magnet, combined with a 943-mm radius, 70-degree ESA, to provide a double focusing arrangement
- Sixteen Faraday detectors; ten incorporated in a fixed central array and three each to the low and high mass side which are adjustable from outside the vacuum housing permitting simultaneous recording of ion beams of high dispersion
- Multiple Ion-Counting System with optional High Abundance Sensitivity Filter
- Independent computer controlled adjustable slits positioned in front of all detectors, allow movement in width and central position providing perfect alignment of the peaks of interest
- Fully adjustable source defining slit and selectable alpha slit allow maximum transmission for desired resolution
- Resolves both low and high mass side interferences essential for laser ablation analysis of the lighter elements
- Failsafe Vacuum System, using three turbo molecular pumps and five ion pumps for vacuum integrity
- Multi-tasking Windows based software with instrument tune-up, full system monitoring, analysis programs, flexible data analysis and time resolved analysis
