Inductively coupled-plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) utilize inductively coupled plasma for sample ionization and an MS for ion separation and quantification. The low detection limits and high productivity possible with ICP-MS are particularly useful for trace metal analysis and environmental testing, to name a few.
What makes up an ICP-MS system?
Common components of an ICP-MS system include a sample introduction system, ion source, vacuum system, collision and/or reaction cell, ion optics, mass spectrometer (often a quadrupole), and detector. Triple-quad ICP-MS enables MS-MS operation. An analytical working range of nine orders of magnitude, detection limits below the ppt range, and aptitude for isotopic analysis are hallmarks of ICP-MS.
What To Consider When Choosing an ICP-MS?
Instruments are configured for routine analyses, high-matrix samples, or for specific applications, such as work in the semiconductor industry or medical and forensic toxicology fields. The capabilities of the data handling system are important to note; remember, it will be monitoring more than 100 parameters. Also look into any desired customization options, such as chromatographic coupling and use with organic solvents or corrosive acids.
