Benefits of proper ICP instrument calibration, tuning and performance check solutions

Laboratories face new challenges on daily basis. Methods are calling for lower detection limits even as sample complexity increases. To meet these new challenges, labs need their instruments to maintain a high level of performance. We all know that instrument performance will decrease over time. Detection limits will never be as good as they were on your instruments’ first day of operation. There are ways to ensure that you are producing quality results even as your instrument ages. One method to ensure instrument performance is to keep up with daily, weekly, monthly, and annual maintenance of the instrument hardware and sample introduction system. Another equally important path for maintaining instrument performance is through proper calibration and tuning.

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. 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).
