A clearer result--B.C. lab offers sharper tool for environmental monitoring

摘要

ALS Environmental recently moved into its new laboratory in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby The new facility which covers 41,000 square feet, is notable for having one of the very few commercial high-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (HR-ICPMS) in North America. Tim Crowther, regional client services manager, ALS Environmental, said there are only "one or two" in Canada and "a few" in the United States. Only in Sweden is the instrument common in environmental labs.
