Streamlined method development for triple quadrupole ICP-MS
27 Jun 2025The accelerated adoption of triple quadrupole technology in ICP-MS, through its significant improvement in handling challenging interferences, has helped many laboratories to improve both data quality and productivity. However, method development is still often perceived as more complex compared with single quadrupole ICP-MS.
Discover how the Reaction Finder Method Development Assistant in the Thermo Scientific™ Qtegra™ ISDS™ Software removes potential complexity from method development when using the iCAP MTX ICP-MS and allows all laboratories to benefit from superior interference removal. At the same time, it gives researchers the flexibility to test different reactive gases or product ions for specific applications.

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).
