Summary
DTU Offshore will establish Denmark’s first triple quadrupole ICP-MS dedicated to direct analysis of high-salinity brines. Together with ion chromatography, ICP-OES, and mercury platforms, it enables precise trace element detection in extreme matrices, supporting projects on subsurface reservoirs for CO₂ and gas storage as well as geothermal, nuclear, mineral, archaeological, and offshore wind.
