• seperates all elements in rapid sequential scan

• ions measured using dual mode detector
• ppt to ppm levels
• isotopic information available
  

Fully heated and insulated GC transfer line.
Modified torch with heated injector replaces standard demountable torch.
"Silicosteel" transfer line and injector line for inertness.
GC capiallary can be inserted to tip of the injector or terminated in GC oven.
GC effluent injected directly into base of plasma.
Species decomposed to atoms them ionized and passed into MS.
