NGSA has recently acquired a state-of- the-art Analytical equipment (TQ-ICP-MS) through the MinDiver Project and is in the process of installing the equipment at its headquarters in Abuja.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP TQ-ICP-MS is a high performance ICP-MS utilizing triple quadrupole technology for ultra trace quantification of elements in a variety of challenging matrices, it offers a superior interference removal capability without compromising detection power. This instrument meets the needs of specialized areas of mining, geology, geochemistry as well as environmental.
It is expected that with this new equipment, a lot of savings will be made from doing analysis locally instead of overseas.
