Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer
Instrument: Perkin Elmer SCIEX ELAN DRC II
Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that requires the sample to be introduced to an argon plasma that dissociates molecules and ionizes atoms. Sample introduction is generally performed via nebulization of the solution. As an alternative sampling technique, laser ablation (LA) allows direct analysis of solids. A large variety of solid samples can be handled either following a dissolution step or using LA-ICP-MS.
ICP-MS also features isotopic information and semi-quantitative analysis.
Specifications
- Quadrupole mass spectrometer has a mass range of 5 to 270 atomic mass unit (amu).
- ICP RF power supply functions at a free-running frequency of 40 MHz with a maximum power of 1600 watts.
- Detection limits are in the range of ng/L.
- Dynamic Reaction Cell (DRC) mode can be used for spectral interference reduction. Mass range is 5-270 amu, and detection limits are in the range of ng/L. Dynamic Reaction Cell can be used if needed to eliminate isobaric interferences caused by gaseous molecules.
Sample requirements
Detailed information should be given about the samples; such as the composition of matrix, expected concentrations, legally required concentration levels. If the sample is brought into solution, a blank should also be supplied with the sample.
