Elemental Analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) (CAT#: STEM-EA-0213-ZJF)

Introduction

For today's demanding applications and for providing the required lower limits of detection, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the technique of choice in many analytical laboratories. This is a multi-element technique with high sensitivity and large linear dynamic range, which allows simultaneous analysis of main components and ultra-trace elements. It analyzes elements from Li to U and can be applied to solutions and solids, with detection limits of ng/g to μg/g in solids and ng/L to μg/L in liquids. The ICP-MS systems we use are capable of handling high volume samples and are suitable for most applications where the limits of detection requirements are in the part-per-million (ppm) and low part-per-billion (ppb) range.<br />If you have any requirements or questions.

Principle

The ICP-MS technique involves atomizing and ionizing the elements in a sample matrix by forming a plasma or gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles from Argon gas. These ions are then passed through a series of apertures (cones) into a mass analyzer where the isotopes of the elements are identified by their mass-to-charge ratio. An elemental isotope's concentration is proportional to the intensity of a specific peak in a mass spectrum.

Applications

Quantitative analysis of minor and trace elements, aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, mining, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, semiconductor industries, supply chain efficiency support, biodiesel analysis, biofuel analysis, USP elemental impurities testing, etc.
