It produces quantitative and qualitative data, including isotope composition information.
Detection limits are in the ppb to ppt range.
All samples must be in solution before being analyzed on this instrument. These solutions should be free of dissolved and suspended solids, particles, and strong acid or caustic concentrations. Extensive sample preparation is often required. Solutions containing high acid concentrations or dissolved solids must often be diluted. Maximum concentration for this instrument is approximately 500 ppb.
