ICP-MS Equipment

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is capable of detecting elements concentrations as low as ppt levels. ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma-mass-spectrometry) is a technique to determine low-concentrations (range: ppb/ µg/l) and ultra-low-concentrations of elements (range: ppt/ ng/l). Atomic elements are lead through a plasma source where they become ionized. Then, these ions are sorted on account of their mass. The advantages of the ICP-MS technique above AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy) or ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) are:

• Extremely low detection limits
• A large linear range
• Possibilities to detect isotope composition of elements

In our facility, we are equipped with Agilent 7800 ICPMS and also Milestone Ethos UP Microwave digestion for better sample digestion.
