Analysis of water samples in alignment with EN ISO Method 17294 using ICP-MS
9 Oct 2024In Europe, the ISO 17294-1:2004 method is applicable for testing and assuring water quality. The method specifies the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the measurement of trace elements in different water types and provides guidelines for the analytical method. Discover how accurate and precise routine monitoring of water quality, with respect to elemental composition, can be achieved using the Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ MSX ICP-MS in conjunction with the Thermo Scientific™ iSC-65 Autosampler. The method, was based on a 5-fold dilution of all samples using argon gas dilution (AGD) for fast, sensitive, and robust elemental analysis in different kinds of water samples.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.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.

ICP-MSInductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the concentrations of elements and their isotopes in a variety of samples, including water, soil, and biological tissues. It involves ionizing elements in the samples with extremely high-temperature Argon (Ar) plasma and then using a mass spectrometer to measure the number of ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z).
