Model 881 Compact IC PRO three-channel ion chromatograph.

The Ionomics Unit carries out analyses using ICP-MS, ion chromatography and atomic absorption. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is a variant of mass spectrometry analysis techniques. Its main advantages lie in its high precision, low detection limits and low cost. Using this technique, most of the elements and isotopes present in the periodic table can be analysed simultaneously in approximately two minutes. It is therefore an ideal technique for the analysis of water, rock and mineral leachates, foodstuffs, etc. As for ion chromatography, a three-channel chromatograph is available for the analysis of anions, cations and carbohydrates.
