Patent ID: 11443931

Abstract:
A two-volume cryoablation cell apparatus and an ablation method thereof for LA-ICP-MS analysis of a fluid inclusion are provided. The two-volume cryoablation cell apparatus includes an ablation cell base having a square metal substrate and a metal abutment disposed on the metal substrate and shaped as a hollow cylinder; a cryogenic component including a cryogenic stage disposed on an axis of the metal abutment and configured to hold a sample; a small-volume ablation cell positioned above the cryogenic stage and in contact with an upper surface of the sample during use, wherein the small-volume ablation cell is of a hollow cylindrical shape with a transparent closed upper portion and an open lower portion; and an ablation cell cover body capable of being buckled on an upper opening of the metal abutment during use and configured to seal the sample within the metal abutment.
