ICP-MS

ICP-MS stands for Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. It is a powerful analytical technique used to detect and quantify elements in a sample by ionizing the sample with an inductively coupled plasma and then using a mass spectrometer to analyze the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio.

ICP-MS is suitable for a wide range of sample types, including liquids, solids, and gases. It is especially useful for high-matrix samples, such as environmental, geological, and biological materials, where other methods might struggle due to matrix interferences.

The Agilent 7700x ICP-MS is known for its high sensitivity, robust performance, and dynamic range. It features Agilent's high-matrix interface (HMI) and ORS3 cell, which help eliminate interferences and ensure precise results even for complex or challenging samples.

CP-MS provides highly accurate and precise results with a wide dynamic range. Its sensitivity allows for the detection of trace and ultra-trace elements, making it one of the most reliable techniques for elemental analysis.

Yes, ICP-MS is capable of multi-element analysis. It can simultaneously detect and quantify multiple elements in a single sample, making it a highly efficient method for comprehensive elemental analysis.

The Agilent 7700x ICP-MS system is designed for both routine analysis and advanced research applications. Its robust features and superior sensitivity make it ideal for regular, high-throughput analysis, as well as complex research projects.

ICP-MS systems, including the Agilent 7700x, are known for their high sensitivity. They can detect elements at parts per trillion (ppt) levels, making them ideal for trace analysis of various materials.

Yes, ICP-MS is widely used for environmental testing, including the analysis of water, soil, and air samples. Its ability to detect trace metals and other elements in complex matrices makes it an ideal tool for environmental monitoring.

The ORS3 cell in the Agilent 7700x ICP-MS helps remove polyatomic and molecular interferences by using a reaction cell technology. This allows for cleaner, more accurate results, especially when analyzing challenging samples with complex matrices.

The duration of an analysis using ICP-MS depends on the sample and the number of elements being measured. Typically, the system can process a sample in a matter of minutes, with high throughput possible for routine analyses. More complex samples or setups may take longer.
