Published purpose

This project proposes a completely new method for total removal of argon interferences in ICP-MS which enables ultra-sensitive analysis of important elements based on their most abundant isotopes without the need for any complicated arrangements commonly used in conventional ICP-MS systems. This technology paves the road for a completely new compact ICP-MS technology that can offer rapid, ultra-sensitive, real-time elemental analysis for the first time with significant benefits to several sectors such as environmental, semiconductor, clinical, metals and mining, and geochemical. It will also lead to high paying technology jobs and contribute to Canada's economy through the production, sale, and export of high-tech instruments.
