Gas Chromatography – Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (GC-ICP-MS)

WA Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Facility

• Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard (GC), Thermo (ICP-MS)
• Model: 5890 HPLC, Neptune Multicollector ICP-MS
• Room: The instrument belongs to and is located the The University of Western Australian. The WA-OIG Facility has collaborative access to it.

Compound-specific δ³⁴S measurement of organic compounds.

• Organosulfur compounds are separated by GC
• ICP applies a hot plasma to degrade organic compounds into their constituent atoms, including S
• Stable isotopic measurements are made directly on atomic S ions (³²S+ and ³⁴S+).
• Only the third such setup worldwide
