The Department of Geological Sciencies has a Thermo Scientific Triton thermal ionization mass spectrometer that is capable of operating in both positive and negative ion mode. The Triton incorporates a number of new features in thermal ionization mass spectrometers including Virtual Amplifiers(TM), Dynamic Zoom(TM) and all-carbon plug-in Faraday cups. The Triton is capable of precise measurement of Nd, Sr, Pb (and more) isotope ratios in positive ion mode, and Os isotope ratios in negative ion mode. The Triton is equipped with 9 Faraday collectors which can be used with a combination of 1010, 1011 and 1012 Ohm amplifiers, as well an axial discrete dynode secondary electron electron multiplier for ion counting measurements. The mass spectrometer also features an oxygen-bleed valve for the measurement of small Nd samples. |
