Acquisition of an Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

该奖项为华盛顿大学地质科学系化学分析设施的设备升级提供了54%的资金支持。一个新的电感耦合等离子体质谱计（ICP-MS）单元，以及使用的电感耦合原子发射光谱仪（ICP-AES）的现代化将增强该部门分析岩石、矿物、土壤和其他样品诊断微量元素含量的能力。几个部门的教师参与了基础研究项目，这些项目的能力是必不可少的。华盛顿大学承诺提供该项目所需的剩余资金。*＊*

9316902 Irving This award provides 54% of the funding required for the acquisition of an equipment upgrade to the chemical analysis facility in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Washington. A new inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) unit, as well as modernization of a used inductively- coupled atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) will enhance the department's ability to analyze the content of rocks, minerals, soils, and other samples for diagnostic trace elements. Several department faculty members are involved in basic research projects for which the capabilities made possible by this upgrade are essential. The University of Washington is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the project. ***
