Abstract
One of my goals was to learn how to operate instrumentation that I had never used before in the context of environmental research. I learned the basics of how to operate the ICP-MS, and more specifically, began to learn to operate the ICP in a single-cell setting. This included the development of several skills and trainings, which included the basic AMSEC lab safety training. In addition, I had multiple sessions with professor Montaño practicing serial dilutions in preparation for the ICP. I also attended a compressed gas training, through which I learned the proper usage and handling of Argon gas tubes for use in the ICP-MS instrument.
