Description
The icpTOF 2R has a mass resolving power of 6000 allowing separation of interfering ions. A time of flight detector allows simultaneous determination of elements across the periodic table in small sample packets every 12-50 μs, making it optimal for fast transient signals such as individual nanoparticles, fluid inclusions, or laser ablation pixels. It has optimized sensitivity to improve image resolution with high signal-to-noise. It will allow studies of co-occurrence of elements in individual nanoparticles to probe chemical reactivity. For additional applications, see the application notes on the Tofwerks icpTOF page.
Note the instrument detection will be constrained by the number of atoms available in a particular sample packet, so trace detection will not be as good as in conventional solution mode ICP-MS, and isotope ratio measurements will not be as good as MC-ICP-MS.
Techniques
- Multi-elemental concentration analysis of synthetic, engineered, natural and laser-produced nanoparticles
