Advanced HR-ICP-MS facility for marine, Antarctic and environmental samples

本提案寻求对塔斯马尼亚研究人员共享的高分辨率电感耦合等离子体质谱设备的支持。现有的UTAS仪器即将寿终正寝，变得越来越不可靠。对于继续分析来自南方环境的具有挑战性的样品中的超微量元素和同位素，获得更新的设施所体现的增强能力以及延长的使用寿命至关重要。新仪器将允许TAS研究人员及其（国际）国家合作者进行世界领先的研究，提高在不同研究领域（海洋学，分析化学，南极研究，环境评估，地球化学）的竞争力。

This proposal seeks support for a shared High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry facility for Tasmanian researchers. The existing UTAS instrument is approaching end-of-life and is becoming increasingly unreliable. Access to enhanced capabilities embodied in a rejuvenated facility, along with a renewed lifespan, is essential for continued analysis of ultra-trace elements and isotopes in challenging samples from southern environments. The new instrument will allow TAS researchers and their (inter)national collaborators to undertake world-leading research, enhancing competitive profiles in a diverse range of research areas (oceanography, analytical chemistry, Antarctic studies, environmental assessment, geochemistry).
