Description

BGS would like to procure a collision and reaction cell (CRC-) multi-collector (MC-) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) with MS/MS capability, hereafter referred to as a CRC-MC-ICP-MS/MS. A primary focus for this instrumentation will be direct analysis of solid materials, sampled by laser ablation (LA), for isotopic characterisation and dating using static spot, raster ablation and imaging protocols. Geochronology and isotopic characterisation using beta decay systems (Rb-Sr, K-Ca, Re-Os), U-Pb and U isotopes are a key focus, but other isotope system capabilities with this instrumentation are also of interest (e.g. Si, Fe, Cu and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb).
