Initial data by researchers in both the ICP-MS and LIBS communities have demonstrated significant improvements in analytical performance using femtosecond laser ablation, especially in terms of precision, accuracy, reduced matrix effects and reduced fractionation.

 

 


Due to the femtosecond time scale ablation is essentially non-thermal. This is particularly important for complex matrices with components of differing physical properties (Fig. 1). By contrast the length of the nanosecond pulse enables photon energy to dissipate into the sample lattice, inducing thermal effects.

  Configuration

The UP XP mates to the customer supplied femtosecond lasers shown (see table) via a coupling mirror in the back. The laser is typically placed on an optical table (not provided) along side of the Universal Platform pictured below.

 

The Universal Platform comes complete with color video microscope, motorized zoom magnification, aperture imaged beam delivery with motorized aperture wheel, ICP-MS sample chamber, XYZ stages, automated solenoids to route carrier gasses, transmitted / reflected and flood lighting, cross-polarizers, class 1 enclosure.
