The requested equipment is an Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES), as the most reliable and sensitive method used for the rapid, simultaneous multi-element determinations at the ultra-trace level. The advanced analytical capabilities of the ICP-OES allow for high flexibility and versatility of use, covering large detection limits (from parts per billion to hundreds of parts per million) in both organic and aqueous-based liquid matrices. It is a standard instrument for elemental (mainly metal) analysis in all laboratories working with dissolved elements in aqueous and/or organic solutions. Any type of sample that can be dissolved or digested (i.e. brought into a liquid form) can be analyzed by ICP-OES, as the technique covers a diverse range of application areas including environmental, geochemical, semiconductor, clinical, nuclear, chemical, food, and metallurgical. Various research groups at the University of Toronto focus on developing novel sustainable processes and environmentally responsible solutions for the metals/minerals, chemical and food industries. Ongoing and planned research projects cover wide fields of interest in our Department among 8 research groups employing about 55 students and researchers. As such, in-house use of a fast and sensitive simultaneous multi-element detection technique will elevate our productivity and analytical precision immensely. Due to lack of such analytical facility within our Department, research staff and students have to make arrangements for ICP-OES use outside the Department, which raises the issue of prompt accessibility, an important factor for samples that are unstable over longer periods of time. The acquisition of the proposed equipment will enable us to meet our research quality objectives and move one step closer to commercializing the new technologies that we are developing.

所要求的设备是电感耦合等离子体-光发射光谱仪，这是用于快速、同时测定超痕量多元素的最可靠和灵敏的方法。ICP-OES的先进分析能力允许使用的高度灵活性和多功能性，涵盖有机和水基液体基质的大检测限（从十亿分之几到百万分之几百）。它是所有实验室在水溶液和/或有机溶液中进行溶解元素分析的标准仪器。ICP-OES可以分析任何类型的可溶解或消化的样品（即变成液体形式），因为该技术涵盖了各种应用领域，包括环境，地球化学，半导体，临床，核，化学，食品和冶金。多伦多大学的各种研究小组专注于为金属/矿物、化学和食品行业开发新的可持续工艺和环保解决方案。正在进行和计划中的研究项目涵盖了我们部门的广泛领域，其中8个研究小组雇用了约55名学生和研究人员。因此，在内部使用快速和灵敏的同时多元素检测技术将大大提高我们的生产力和分析精度。由于我们部门内缺乏这种分析设施，研究人员和学生不得不在部门外安排使用ICP-OES，这就提出了迅速获取的问题，这是一个重要因素，因为样品在较长时间内不稳定。收购拟议的设备将使我们能够实现我们的研究质量目标，并向我们正在开发的新技术的商业化迈进一步。
