Description: The equipment features He collision cells that allow for very high sensitivity and the capacity to quantitatively determine almost all elements present in the periodic table that have an ionization potential lower than the ionization potential of argon at very low concentrations (ppb or ppt).

Additionally, it can be coupled with the HPLC separation technique to effectively perform inorganic speciation studies.

Applications:

Inorganic analysis of elements in an acidic medium, directly or by dilution of samples of different types.

  • Environment: Drinking water quality, toxic waste characterization, water pollution, air pollution control, soil characterization, contaminant speciation.
  • Energy: Analysis of solid and liquid fuels, elemental analysis of combustion products, isotopic depletion/enrichment control, impurity control in nuclear fuels.
  • Chemistry: Raw material characterization, quality control of finished products, fine chemicals, purity of high-value-added products.
  • Geology: Quantitative and semi-quantitative measurements, lanthanide and actinidium analysis, surface distribution maps, isotopic ratios, characterization of rocks, minerals, and sediments.
  • Food Science and Technology: Raw material control, contamination and toxicity control, elemental migration from packaging, quality control of manufactured products.
