ICP-MS combines reliability, ease of use, and low operating costs


Launched at Pittcon 2016, the ICPMS-2030 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) features dedicated analysis assistant functions and incorporates proprietary cost-reducing capabilities. The instrument provides efficient, sensitive trace element analysis for environmental testing, food and agriculture studies, and pharmaceutical work.

The new development assistant function helps to develop methods and perform post-run diagnostics.It automatically selects the optimal mass and internal standard for the target elements, and suggests concentration ranges for calibration curves, allowing any user to develop reliable methods with ease. It also identifies the presence or absence of mass interference based on qualitative analysis to generate reliable results quickly.

Proprietary technology helps to reduce operating costs. This includes a Mini-Torch system, which effectively reduces the amount of argon gas needed to generate plasma, and ECO mode, which minimizes the flow rate and power consumption during standby. The instrument can also operate on 99.95% purity argon gas, instead of more expensive 99.999% argon gas.

The system also offers high sensitivity and easy maintenance, while suppressing molecular interference through optimization of the newly developed collision cell and internal ion path geometry. Shimadzu
