The Trace Metal Facility Core promotes collaborative studies on trace metals in the environmental and biological systems by providing a facility for ARCH members at Florida International University and the University of Miami and other collaborators.

equipment in facility

  • The major instruments include (1) a PerkinElmer ELAN DRCe ICP-MS for analysis of trace metals, (2) a PerkinElmer Series 200 HPLC coupled with UV/Vis detector and/or ICP-MS for metal speciation, (3) a TSP 3000 series HPLC coupled with a PS Analytical AFS for arsenic speciation, (4) a PS Analytical hydride generation AFS (HG-AFS) for total arsenic analysis, (5) a PS Analytical cold vapor AFS (CVAFS) for total mercury analysis, and (6) a GC-AFS system for mercury speciation analysis.
