ICP-QMS, iCAP Q, Thermo Scientific

This system provides ideal performance for high quality and high throughput multi-element analysis of major and trace concentrations in a wide variety of samples including environmental-, biological-, biotechnological-, pharmaceutical analysis, food quality control and many more. Elemental speciation analysis and online sample preparation as well as turbo flow chromatography can be accomplished by HPLC/UPLC hyphenated to ICP-MS.

iCAP™ Qc ICP-QMS. Thermo Fisher Scientific GmbH. Obtained 2013.

The system consists of a proprietary Qcell technology acting as an ion guide in standard mode (no gas mode), further, it provides capabilities for the reduction of interferences using He as collision gas and O₂ as reaction gas, respectively, thus allowing highly reproducible multi-element analysis in a variety of sample matrices across the entire mass range.

A secondary electron multiplier detector provides a high linear dynamic detection range over 9 orders of magnitude for the accurate analysis of traces to major element concentrations.

This instrument is equipped with a CETAC™ autosampler for continuous data acquisition and can be coupled to various flow injection- and bioinert LC-systems for elemental speciation analysis. Moreover, a metal-free LC systems (Thermo Scientific Transcend™) for turbo flow (TuboFlow™) online sample preparation and chromatography is available
