TIMS

Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry Facility

Manufacturer: ThermoFisher Scientific
Model: Triton
Year: 2009
Building: 301
Room: 043B

This instrument provides highly accurate and precise measurements of an element’s isotopic composition, represents the ‘gold’ standard for isotopic analysis. The isotopic dilution technique is used to measure the concentration of elements in a matrix. This is a ‘definitive’ method of analysis and can yield the highest accuracy achievable, reaching a precision of 0.001% on isotopic ratios.

It is equipped with 9 faraday cups and a 21 sample turret.
Prevision up to 0.001%
