Welcome to Norris Scientific

Our latest paper in JAAS is now out! In this work we introduce our brand new fire control device for Aligned LA-ICP-MS. By aligning the laser to the measurement cycle of the quadrupole it is possible to eliminate aliasing noise and realise the full potential of fast response ablation cells. We are in the process of commercialising this device, please contact us (an@norsci.com) if you would like more information, and watch this space! (Feb 2021)
