Break-through 213nm technology yields
the shortest pulse length & wavelength combination for optimal ablation
performance plus solid-state reliability

UP-213 is the 2^nd generation, high-performance Nd:YAG deep UV (213nm) laser ablation system that provides flat craters and high absorption for the analysis of opaque and transparent materials alike. The deep UV 213nm wavelength produces a finer particle distribution. This increases transport efficiency of the aerosol resulting in better sensitivities and minimal deposits at the plasma.

UP-213 combines the ease-of-use of a solid-state laser with the high-efficiency sampling of deep-UV wavelengths for solid sampling of semiconductor, geological, biological, and environmental specimens. The laser ablation software program controls all laser parameters, sample viewing, stage positioning and gas routing functions, including triggering of the mass spectrometer, for a fully automated ablation process.

The Universal Platform Series is the most recent advances in laser ablation technology. It offers a totally flexible design that can be upgraded with features, wavelengths and software as they are released. The Universal Platform is designed for high reliability and easy maintenance.

Advantages

  Higher absorption rate at 213nm vastly improves
      ablation of all materials Including fragile and easily
      cleaved minerals
  Long, spike-free, stable signals - ideal for isotope
      ratios
  "Resonator-flat" beam and specialized beam
      delivery system yields flat craters with energy
      densities that
      remain constant when changing spot sizes
  Precision depth profiling and spot sizes to 5µm
      make this an excellent inclusion and thin-film
      analysis tool
  Accepts large format and specialized sample
      chambers including LN2 cooled chambers
  Finer particles improves transport efficiency and
      minimizes deposits
  Automated laser ablation process using the widely
      acclaimed New Wave Research software, including
      sample navigation mosaic function. Operates from
      Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, Me
  Wavelength and feature upgrades available

Applications

A perfect complement to any ICP, ICP-MS noble gas or stable isotope mass spectrometer for:
  Analysis of geological materials, including volcanic
      glasses, silicate minerals and calcite
  Direct analysis of pressed powders
  Bulk analysis on metals, alloys, polymers and
      ceramics
  Micro-feature analysis on fluid inclusions in quartz
      and halite
  Direct micro-analysis on mineral grains

The above data detail the analysis of MORB glass using a New Wave Research 213 laser ablation system with a quadropole ICP-MS. These data agree well with data obtained using an excimer LAM (laser ablation microprobe) system, and with ICP-MS solution data. Data collected by New Wave.

The above data detail the signal from the New Wave Research 213 analysis of NIST612 glass with a 125um spot. The repetition rate was 10Hz; the energy>was 1mJ per pulse. The data show a sensitive, stable signal lasting in excess of two minutes.
