Description
The OptiMass 9500 ICP Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (ICP-TOFMS) further redefines the state-of-the-art in elemental analysis. This second generation bench top ICP-TOFMS overcomes the major limitations associated with quadrupole ICP-MS instrumentation. Detection limits equivalent to those achievable with a quadrupole instrument can be achieved for amu 1 to 260 within seconds. This inherent speed allows higher sample throughput with the use of conventional sample introduction systems. The high speed data collection rate enables transient signals to be sampled 30,000 times per second and 50 integrated full mass spectra to be displayed every second, opening up a range of applications previously hindered by the slow sequential nature of quadrupole or magnetic sector field mass spectrometers. Features include unique retrospective semi-quantitative (RSQ) analysis, multielemental spectral fingerprinting capability for forensic science, and laser ablation ICP-MS capability for rapid multielement analysis of solid samples.
