Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)/Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES)/Isotope Ratio Mass Spec (IRMS)/Laser Ablation ICP (LA-ICP)

Equipment: Thermo Fisher ICAP Q

Working Principle

  • Acidic solutions or laser ablated sample are ionized
  • Ions are separated by atomic weight using a quadrapole mass spectrometer (MS)

Technical Information

  • Report of over 65 contaminate atoms from solid and liquid samples
  • Detection range of cations and covalent elements from high ppm to 10 ppq ranges
  • Widely used in routine quality control for chemical, bio-pharma and food
  • Detection of isotopes and tracers
