Description
The Quadrupole ICP-MS (iCap-Q) is used for rapid, precise and accurate trace (<1000 ppm) element determinations in liquid and solid samples, isotopic determinations, and speciation studies. The iCap-Q features a stable plasma source capable of ionizing most elements of the periodic table, an interface system to transfer ions from the high temperature (6000-10,000°K- atmospheric pressure (760 torr) environment of the Ar plasma into the mass spectrometer analyzer region at room temperature and low pressure (10-5 torr), technology to remove interferences, and an autosampler is capable of handling 240 15- ml samples at a time.
Techniques
- Concentration of metals, REE, some major elements in a wide variety of sample types and over a large dynamic range
