The MRL has an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Atomic Emission Spectrometer that is available for use on a recharge basis. Our Instrument is a Thermo iCAP 6300 model that can simultaneously view emissions from as many elements and lines as desired. It is easy to use and offers high sensitivity measurements of aqueous solutions from 10 PPB to over 250 PPM. The optimum working range for element concentrations is from 50 PPB to 100 PPM by weight. The ICP Training Course is offered once per quarter. If you would like to attend a training session please email Amanda Strom at amanda@mrl.ucsb.edu.
All instruments are available for responsible users to test their own samples. Training is offered quarterly for the more complex instruments and users may self train on the other instruments any time. More information
