ELEMENT 2XR is a high-resolution sector field mass spectrometer (HR-ICP-MS) with inductively coupled plasma as an ion source
Equipment & location: B366
The sectorfield Mass Spectrometer is used for the quantitative analysis of element concentrations or isotope ratios. It offers excellent results even for complex problems and demanding samples. The Elements 2XR combines a configuration that is primarily characterized by the following features:
- Faraday detector and an SEV detector (secondary electron multiplier), thereby extending the dynamic detection range
- Measurements of different concentration ranges in a single analysis
- Excellent detection limits of up to 1ng/l (matrix dependent)
- Mass-independent sensitivity of sectorfield Mass Spectrometers improves signal stability and detection limits
- Three different mass resolutions can resolve almost all elements without interference
Routine analyses after acid digestion of rocks:
- Li, Be, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Rb, Sr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ta, Pb, Bi, Th, U

Routine analyses in aqueous solutions:
- Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Fe
- Li-U
Analysis of PGEs in aqueous solutions, isotope ratios and other analyses not listed above, can be arranged upon request.
