ARGON RECYCLING SYSTEM FOR AN INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA MASS SPECTROMETER

摘要

Certain configurations of systems and methods which can recycle argon used in an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer are described. In some configurations, the system may comprise two or more separate stages each of which can remove impurities from a fluid stream comprising the argon. In some instances, substantially pure argon is recovered using the systems and methods, and the substantially pure argon can be reused in the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.
