Quadrupole ICP-MS

The VG PlasmaQuad 3 high-performance ICP-MS system provides very high sensitivity and a very wide range of matrix tolerances. It is fully automated, allowing the operator to perform routine or research analysis easily. PlasmaScreen Torch allows operation in a standard mode, as well as cool plasma mode for the determination of selected elements. The cool plasma virtually eliminates the interferences and background noise that can impede the determination of elements such as Na, K, Fe, or Ca. S-Option, an ultrahigh-efficiency ion sampling interface, provides sensitivities >200 ? 106 counts/sec/ppm.
