Determination of Trace Metals in Human Urine Using the NexION 300 ICP-MS
2 Nov 2010This application note describes the use of a next-generation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for the determination of trace elements in human urine. The study shows how spectral interferences are overcome with the instrument’s breakthrough Universal Cell Technology™, and how the unique interface and ion-filtering design is ideally-suited for the analysis of such difficult matrices.

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.
