Ultra-clean labs play a vital role in the field of mass spectrometry analysis. Whether you are using HR-ICP-MS, HR-MC-ICP-MS, TIMS, ICP-MS, or gas isotope mass spectrometers such as MAT 253, Delta XP, and Delta AD, an ultra-clean laboratory is essential to meeting the operational requirements of these instruments and ensuring analytical accuracy.
With increasing investment in scientific research, the procurement of such advanced instruments is steadily rising. However, while acquiring these high-precision instruments, the environmental requirements of the laboratory are often overlooked. From instrument rooms and supporting equipment rooms to the sample pre-treatment stages (reagent preparation, ultrapure water preparation, precise weighing, sample preparation, etc.), factors such as temperature and humidity control, cleanliness level, pressure differential, purified air-conditioning systems, interior materials (low-background, anti-static, corrosion-resistant), electrical systems (independent grounding, UPS, etc.), and gas supply quality (safe, uninterrupted, and high purity) must all be considered.
