The instrument
differs from many other quadropole ICP-MS instruments in that
it uses an ion mirror to reflect the ion beam through 90 degrees,
focusing the analyte ions into the quadrupole with great efficiency
and giving rise to an extremely high sensitivity and very
low background. The detector has a large dynamic range and
achieves linear performance from parts per trillion up to
hundreds of parts per million in solution. This makes it ideal
for a wide range of applications and matrices. It also benefits
from a high sample throughput and its operating software is
user friendly and easy to use.
Applications
of the ICP-MS include, among others: the ultra-trace level
determination of metals that present common interference problems
in conventional ICP-MS (Fe, Ni, Cr, V, etc), low levels determination
of REE in geochemical samples and determination of trace elements
in solutions with high dissolved solids (e.g. seawater).
