High-resolution low-voltage secondary electron (SE) imaging
All wet chemistry preparation is undertaken in the Clean Laboratory facility. This includes clean acid preparation for instrument calibrations and standard analyses, as well as sample processing such as ion exchange chromatography for solution-based mass spectrometry.
The purpose-built Clean Laboratory provides an ultra-clean HEPA filtered metal-free working environment, catering for all levels of classical and non-standard wet chemistry sample dissolution and chemical extraction procedures. The facility is positively pressured and features air-lock entry, five ULPA filtered ducted laminar flow work hoods, one ULPA laminar flow hood, one fume hood, a Milli-Q ultrapure water supply, PTFE sub-boiling acid stills, and an enclosed weighing room equipped with high precision balances.
