Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry or ICP-MS is an analytical technique used for element determination. It combines a high temperature ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) source with a mass spectrometer. The ICP source converts the atoms of the elements in the sample to ions. These ions are then separated and detected by the mass spectrometer.
Product features
Detection limit, ppt level, extremely wide dynamic linear range, for most elements better than 109
The ability of complex matrices-resistant, due to the high-temperature of the ICP source
Great performance with great stability ≤ 2% @ 20min, CeO/Ce ≤ 3% and Ba++/Ba+ ≤ 3%
The ability to obtain isotopic information
Hexapole collision/reaction cell to eliminate polyatomic interference
Application area
Elemental Speciation Analysis Soil Geology Water and Waste
