Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry is a powerful technique for analysing noble gas abundances and isotopic ratios, delivering exceptional sensitivity and precision. Its versatility supports a wide range of applications, from Earth and environmental sciences to cosmochemistry and planetary research.
Static gas source mass spectrometry provides the extremely high sensitivity required for isotopic analysis of noble gases and nitrogen as found in terrestrial rocks, meteorites and other planetary materials returned by spacecraft.
Noblesse is ideally suited for ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating, especially for small samples obtained with a UV laser to get high resolution argon profiling. The combination of high sensitivity electron multiplier detection and high-resolution mass spectrometry allows accurate measurement of ultra-low gas abundances by resolving problematic molecular interferences such as C₃⁺.
Xe provide an exceptional insight into planetary history despite its extreme rarity due it’s 9 isotopes which are produced by different processes, some are primordial while other are produce by fission of uranium and plutonium. Noblesse delivers outstanding performance for Xe in solid samples by collection of all isotopes in just two steps. Furthermore, both isotopes used typically for normalisation 130 or 132 are measured on both steps, allowing for easier calculation of isotopes ratio.
