Product news

The high-definition quadrupole mass analyzer of ICP-MS PlasmaQuant® MS offers the ability to quickly and accurately measure more than 75 elements at concentrations ranging from ultra-trace to major levels in a single measurement. The HD Quadrupole separates the positively-charged analyte ions produced in the plasma according to their mass-to-charge ratio.

With true 3 MHz performance, the HD Quadrupole of the PlasmaQuant® MS provides superior mass separation. This allows for an abundance sensitivity of <3x10-8cps from 238U on mass 237, a crucial parameter for isotope ratio measurements. The combination of high sensitivity and ultra-fast dwell times down to 50 µs means the PlasmaQuant® MS is also the perfect instrument for laser ablation and single particle analysis.

  • True 3 MHz quadrupole provides superior mass separation
  • Exceptional abundance sensitivity performance
  • Isotope ratio precision of <0.07 %
  • Maintenance-free

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
