Project description

This application concerns liquid chromatography equipment, specifically aimed at coupling to an ICP-MS as detector. Such setup allows to separate and accurately quantify different chemical forms of essential and toxic trace elements at very low concentrations in the natural environment, food and industrial process and waste streams.
